For the last couple of days, I've been considering starting up some passenger servicce on my railway. I'm just not sure what type of locomotive to use.
I've got a Norfolk Southern J series, but it started smoking when I ran it yesterday, so is now on permanant shelf disply.
I love the look of Northerns, and would gladly use one of these in passenger service. I am conserned about anything with 8 drivers, because of some of the radiuses on my layout. The real trouble may be finding one.
Any other suggestions? Given my penchant for post-USRA steam power, I'd say the layout would date as early/mid 1920s.
