All the motive power will be lettered PM, except for one or two NYC units that will appear in Benton Harbor with the limited interchange that came up the former Big Four. I haven't researched what the NYC used on that branch, yet.
For passenger cars, I'm toying with the idea of using a few streamlined coaches lettered for the C&O, from their big Pullman-Standard order, to supplement the PM-lettered cars. That'd help show the corporate relationship, and would make sense, given the way the C&O overbought passenger equipment following WWII.
The Elmdale Sub has often tempted me. The big drawback to me is that it didn't have the kind of passenger traffic I'd like to run, or the sheer volume I'd like to have for my operating sessions.
I've often thought that Greenville would make a great set of Free-Mo modules, though.
