    Question about mixing steam and diesel locomotives as head end power

    I don't know if this question has been asked for Openrails, but I was wondering if it is possible to get proper physics when you add let's say a couple GP9's or such vintage diesels in front of a steamer, let's say a 4-8-4, to pull a train, where the GP9's would act as helpers. Will Openrails and MSTS realistically operate the steamer considering the two totally different locomotive physics? I haven't done much testing, but thought I'd ask the question.... Same thing reverse... If I have a Big Boy in front and let's say 2-3 F7's or SD24 behind as helpers, will the diesels pull in a realistic manner, since the steamer is having ''control'' on the set of engines? Thanks for your input!
