The pics I saw used 2 engines.

The type of engine and rolling stock determines how many engines would be needed for a given length train. Running a layout with 60ft mainline straights would likely require boosters to help provide power in addition to the command station.

You might find information on their website—Ntrak is now Nrail. If you’re not a member you might want to join. Even if you don’t build a module the organization provides a great deal of helpful N scale information.
