Pennsylvania Decapods

[user 1215]

I have an old N scale Minitrix Pennsylvania 2-10-0 Decapod. It runs great! I just don’t know what to pull behind it. I prefer passenger consists. I presume just some typical heavyweight Pullmans from the 50s?

I’ll post a video in a bit of it pulling some old Bachman built American Flyer coaches.

Generally a Decapod was used for low speed "drag" freights. Faster passenger engines generally had 4 wheel lead trucks such as the Pacific 4-6-2 or Mountain 4-8-2.
On the other hand, Strasburg RR #90 is a Decapod and has been used over the years as its main engine to haul its passenger trains, although since they got 475 that has been used a lot also.
