As I was working on my layout I began contemplating where to locate my train museum. The museum will hold the steam locomotives and some old diesels (all analog). My track is all DCC and I thought about all the "Dummy locomotives" that I have. Since I can run several DCC loco's together, in the middle, or at the end of the train or trains. I thought about placing dummy diesels in the museum but that will take up too much space. I did think about having decorative locomotives (dummies) siting around the layout on some siding, but I can use the DCC locomotives to do that too. Therefore, I'm wondering is there a need to have "dummy locomotives" anymore.
Why would anyone want or need to keep the dummy locomotives if the DCC layout can handle all locomotive variations?
