Quick question about double-heading locos. On my HO/OO layout, it would be very prototypical for me to run two particular engines together, i.e. double-heading.
I'm wondering, though, if this is hard on the locos themselves? Would it strain one or cause extra wear? Logically, one of the locos will probably pull, haul or perform better than the other that would probably cause extra wear and tear.
To complicate matters, the two locos I have in mind are bother tender-driven !! In the real world, these two loco types double-headed together a lot but maybe it's not such a good idea on my layout! Just curious.
Thanks again,
Rob
