@mkearns The WM's had a few 70' RPOs. One was preserved in New Oxford Pa, which I measured, then 3d printed my own. To your point, the shorter overall length works well in scale.

I dont know the Ann Rutledge consists so I apologize.
Usually consists of 1 locomotive, F40PH, B32-8HW, P40/P42DC now a charger
3 Amfleets, 1 Horizon Cafe car or
3 Horizon coaches and an AmCafe
OR
2 Amfleets and a Horizon Cafe and vis versa.

last few years, you could have seen those consists with the addition of 3+ heritage diners or viewliner baggages Due to UP's axle count rule.

Today Charger, and the Venture cars.
OCCASIONALLY P42s... when the chargers die somewhere.....

Shot I took in 2015... last year 66 was alive.

Five Amtubes (four coaches, one diner - in the middle)

Digging up this one, one more time.
I ended up with a LL E8 in KCS in a lot buy, and decided to fins something to do with it, besides repainting.
I give you KCS Train 9 and 10, circa 1960

Super easy consist here:
E8
Baggage
Coach
Coach
Observation

Lifelike makes the E8, any 72' to 85' will work, alowell Smith has a 2 coach set currently, and the obs could be bashed from one of the Con-Cor obs. From what I have read, they didnt always run the observation.

I got some cars on the way. When I get the coaches, and get the baggage painted, I'll post some pictures
