I wonder what it would be like to couple a Dash 8 and a Mikado?

It's frequent practice to have a diesel behind a steam engine in a heritage/excursion consist, ostensibly to provide braking effort and maybe electrical power to the coaches, but as a precaution as well. These 4 (yes 4) diesels behind UP's #844 over Donner Pass in 2012, I think might have been doing more than that.

Era? We don't need no stinkin' eras!
I don't pay any attention to eras, geography, lines, or anything else. If it strikes my fancy, I run it.

I don't care.The reality is: I do care! Not enough to present a reason to explain to all of you, why I care, other than to say I think we all should care! If I were to explain why I care, I am sure this would cause ill will and consternation amongst those of you who don't care! What a world we live in, when someone who cares can cause a world war, because they care!

I am modeling the 50's era and my scenes will be for that era, but I have a few modern stuff, I won't be afraid to run it every so often but off they go. If you have seen Tony Koester's NKP layout he has it down to the Nth degree, it works. I said it before many towns look very much the same as they did in the 40's-50s, running modern thru them doesn't throw the picture out, but maybe the autos get changed..
