When I say I operate my layout in a prototypical manner (or I intend to do so
when I have
enough track!) that is a shorthand for saying that I operate my layout in a
manner that
resembles the prototype as close as possible within the given confines of model
trains.
My steam engines don't burn coal, wood, or oil. My diesels don't generate
their own
electricity. My sleeping cars don't have working berths. I certainly don't
have access to
the car fleet of even a mid sized railroad. I plan to do the best I can. I'll
bet the real
railroads wish they could get car utilization figures like I hope to have. The
other potential
solution is to make Don Thompson very happy!
