Will these coaches go around 24" radius curves or what is the minimum radius?
Thanks,

From the on-line store description, "Performs best on 22"radius curves or greater."
So they should be fine on 24" radius curves.

Thanks, Len.
Very much appreciated!

It's taken a long time for this question to come up again but we all knew it would. Which is:
What works at all vs. what looks right. Whether you are interested in toy operation vs. realism.
I have 5 72' heavyweight passenger cars that I won't operate on my layout because of a 24" Radius curve. Oh yes, they roll around the curve just fine. But do they look like a real train? Of course not. They look like a toy Christmas train set circling under the tree.
I bought these cars now for a future layout that can handle them, in anticipation of models of vintage equipment eventually going away, like steam engines are slowly but surely.
I suspect the OP already has an existing layout with 24" curves, and just wanted to know if the cars could negotiate them.
Len
Yes.
So do I. They looked much worse than I expected on the curve.
