@MELGAR posted: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.

Thanks, MELGAR.
It appears that there are many good choices for candidates behind the 0-6-0s. I've seen some of the photos posted in other threads showing prototypical operations for these little guys. I don't have switching operations, per se, on my PW style layout but that's not a problem. I've always run what I like. And those beer reefers would look great!
Thanks again for the suggestions.
