I just measured my Bachmann and Rivarossi passenger cars.
Bachmann cars are about 80' if you measure from coupler to coupler. Rivarossi's are about 85' coupler to coupler
Side by side, the Bachmann cars are about 5 feet shorter than the Rivarossi's and the so is the wheelbase.
My Rivarossi's will run on 22" radius if they have long shank couplers.
My Bachmann cars have no problems at all on 22" radius track. They might work OK on 18" radius with long shank couplers.
When I got my Bachmann cars about 10 years ago, they had a little pivoting coupler mechanism that didn't work too well because they drooped. I removed them and body mounted the couplers instead.
Do they still use those pivoting couplers on Bachmann cars?
