Title: New Amfleet cars on 18" curves
Post by: MARXfan on March 01, 2009, 12:10:57 PM
I could not find an answer to this on the board so here goes. Due to space limitations I am limited to 18" radius curves on my HO layout. I know longer rolling stock looks funny going threw these curves but it is the best I can do. Does anyone know if current Bachmann amfleet cars will run threw these 18" radius curves coupled together. The new production cars seem to have body mounted coplers and I know that changes things. Any imput would be greatly appreciated.

bachmann amfleet cars can run on 22 inch and above . 24 inch radius and above is prefered for looks and proper running. the only cars that run on 18 inch curves are athearn shorty passenger cars-   hobo
