Aristo-Craft recomends minimum 6.5 ft radius for their Pacific Steam 4-6-2, have any of you run it on a 5 ft radius and did it work O.K.

I think this is a question better asked on the AristoCraft forum - http://www.aristocraft.com/vbulletinforums/index.php

One of the members of a group I model with has an Aristo-Craft 4-6-2 and runs it regularly on our portable layout.  It handles the 38, 44 and 52 inch radii just fine.  I suspect Aristo-Craft recommends a minimum of 6.5 ft diameter.  While small scale curves are usually specified as radius, large scale curves are usually specified as diameter.
Growing older is mandatory but growing up is optional.
