Power pooling is less common these days, but foreign locos did get around a lot in the 1980s. I remember a photo of two GP38-2s, one Chessie and one Conrail, working as helpers on the SP Coast Route Cuesta Pass near San Luis Obispo. Especially if your Vernon layout is in its 1980s time warp, I'd run these without apology -- or MUed with a GP50!
