Related but different, as well as small layouts it would appear that I like small locomotives, what with having collected 36 different ones.
Just put them all in one place.
There are 2 differently named listings for B&O No 20.
Other than it, no duplicates.
And I am certain I used to have at least one Western Maryland 44 tonner in Trainz to go with my HO scale one from Bachmann.
And then, while it is not a small layout, it is a small railroad, have been re-reading September 1978 Model Railroader 'Railroad you can model' article on Arcade and Attica with its stable of 44 tonners.
Though layout plan drawn on page 83 is not small in real life HO scale layout size, it goes around all 4 walls of a 24ft by 16ft basement, it is a quite simple one-mainline and several spurs layout.
And ...
Given it will fit on 1 baseboard as HO scale in Trainz, which the ruler says is right around 27 feet on a side, it would count as a small layout here in Trainz.
Personal experience did lead to a fondness for GE 44tonners, opportunity arose in 1980s to ride along in the US Navy's one at Oceania Air Station.
Perhaps it is that & personal experiences with a couple small railroads which are part of my liking for smaller layouts.
In background are several Whitcombs and Plymouths;
