Title: 18 inch radius ?
Post by: driverod on December 03, 2008, 09:03:04 AM
Hi All, new here.
I would like to know if the 2-10-0 steamer will run with out any trouble on a 18 inch radius? I'm not conserned about the "hang over".
Thanks,
Don

Do you mean the Bachmann Spectrum Russian Decapod?  If so, yes.  It's a small locomotive by American standards.  The PRR Decapod is a brute and will not, AFAIK.

It will go around the 18" curve but it has to work hard to get around. From experience. I have temporarily put mine on display.
