I'm new to this forum and was just wondering how many use only steam locomotives and how many use only diesel locomotives?
I personally have mostly steam (that's what I started with) and then with my latest switching layout I switched to a diesel switcher. I started to build the switching layout for a bachmann climax (HO scale, sorry) and it crapped out shortly after I bought it (something wrong with the gears - won't move anymore) anyway so I bought a Atlas diesel switcher and that has worked out fine. Oh, my layout is DCC and switcher has sound. I have many steam locos but the only other loco I have sound in is a Model Power 2-4-4-2 that I've had for over 20 years (sound in it in the last 8) but it's just a little bit to big for the switching that I'm doing now on my layout.
Off course sorry, how many like steam and how many like diesel? Just wondering.
