My new Lion Chief + 2.0 0-6-0T switcher. I picked up the Brooklyn Eastern District Terminal version.
Need to choose some appropriate rolling stock.

Suggestion for rolling stock behind BEDT 0-6-0T industrial switcher.

I run my Reading 0-6-0T scale switcher (same diecast model shell as the new LC+ 2.0 version) ahead of an MTH 40-foot Schaefer Beer refrigerator car and an MTH Reading Bobber caboose. Brooklyn Eastern District Terminal Railroad #15 0-6-0T operated on a waterfront yard and pulled 40-foot boxcars arriving on barges to nearby customers. I have a picture of BEDT #14 that shows it pulling four 40-foot boxcars with no caboose. The Schaefer Brewing Company plant on Kent Avenue in Brooklyn was adjacent to parts of the Terminal Railroad. I can't attest to the fact that the BEDT actually pulled Schaefer Beer cars but the two businesses were in the same neighborhood - if not next door. I shall run Schaefer Beer when I unpack my BEDT #15 steamer.
