@MainLine Steam posted:Thanks Pete for concisely putting it all together. Would the K-Line pull 8 K-Line 18" HeavyWeight Cars without struggling, provided no steep inclines?
Jim, I think 8 cars would be about it without grades. Newer MTH cars are about best rolling. K-Lines are good to but they only made green heavyweights with interiors lettered for Pullman. All three made them with and without interiors. If you go for GGD cars I think maybe 5 would be max as they don’t roll as freely.
I was able to get K-Line, MTH, and Williams engines, the former two with command, for around 400 bucks. Be patient and they will show up.
K-Line has done some very fine cars lettered for NYC in the TT gray Pacemaker colors though.
