My problem is that all but three of the 30+ pieces of rolling stock are old Tyco and Bachmann from my childhood and certainly will not go with my plans of a prototypical look. Should I list them on Ebay and take the money and spend it on some better freight cars or should I keep them? If I keep them, can they be converted to Kadee couplers? I've been told by a seasoned dealer it's difficult for truck mounted couplers to work right after they have had Kadee's installed. Is he right or is he trying to make a sale. This next question is a toughy. How do you determine what kind of freight cars to have on your layout? Is it based on geometry (location or era of your layout), or is it simply a matter of picking and choosing what's on sale? Looking through Walthers you can drop a pile of cash on cars and buying the wrong type or kind would suck if your working for a "right" look. I'd like to think there is an easy of way picking what belongs on your layout. Any tips? Thanks.
