Title: 2-6-6-2 Turn Radius
Post by: NKP on September 29, 2008, 01:31:17 PM

Hey Mr. Bachmann, or one of the many knowledgeable Posters,

A little technical data please. I was wondering what the minimum turn radius is for Item #8265*?

Also, is it actually an articulated frame?

Thanks for any and all help!

It's minimum radius is smaller than the loco looks good going around. I have had one on 9 3/4 radius and it works fine, just looks odd. Both engines are articulated so minimum radius is not really an issue with these.

Thanks very much to each of you, for the data and the experience. This information is weighting the purchase of same, now more toward the positive.
