POLL RESULTS: Do you prefer operating freight or passenger trains?
The results of the last poll confirmed what most of us probably suspected:
The Question was – Do you prefer operating freight or passenger trains?
Freight (65%)
Passenger (20%)
I don’t have a layout yet (15%)
Although passenger cars can add greatly to a layout, they are more limited than freight trains in that they usually run the same route with the same cars. Freight trains pull into yards where a lot of switching happens, their loads change, they visit industries, ports, etc – so provide lots of operational possibilities and variations.

I like running both and a circus train also.
I run two old time 1936 passenger trains and also a logging train with minimal freight cars pulled by an 80ton 3 truck shay all DCC and sound.
