Hey all,
I have mostly streamliner stuff on my indoor layout but have several UP railking Madison passenger cars that I'd like to bring in with an appropriate loco. I know these are basically heavyweight cars and the era that I primarily am after is around 1940, though I have few domeliners that come after. I thought I read somewhere that these were used well after the lightweight cars came in but mostly on the back routes. So my question is would a diesel streamliner be appropriate for these cars for that era or should I think steam? Which locos would be correct or ok? My budget is not very high maybe around $150 for this one so any suggestions there would be good too.
thanks
Mike
