My train is two modified 4559s with 3 3/4 "low-boy" cars.  They
carry cargo containers just like the 4549s (of which I have at
least one) except that they're yellow instead of grey.  I should
be able to bring the whole train.  Should I leave my grey one(s)
(4549) at home so there's no mixup and just bring the yellow?

As you saw from the photos John posted, there isn't very much room on
the siding for the train cars, we could probably fit a couple of the
yellow lowboys, to mix with the three original grey and the one black.

I was planning to bring it populated.  I'll only bring yellow
so that we know the other colors are yours.  The engine & 3/4 car
can act as a supplemental container transport within the yard, or
just be left aside as a spare.  "Better to have it and not need it,
than to need it and not have it" I always say.
