funnily enough, i almost bought that item right after it was listed, way befoe i saw this post. i decided no.

actually yes the 22 inch can run on one of my loops on a 4x8 but the problem is that i need it to switch tracks so it can pull the mountaneer express. and the there is the fact that not only do i have too many curves, my grandpa built the table with a wall and screws atattached in a way that in some places it elimanates more than 3 inches off the sides, oops!

2-8-0 is a nice loco but is really pricy. did you say that the 2-10-0 will work! if it will i am in luck but i would hate to buy it and then find out that it is going to not run at all on my 18 inch radius curves making a problem, please let me know!!!

sadly, bachman does not make these but you could try using dummys if your loco has power.

the problem is that would reverse the direction it goes.

I don't kut i have a spectrum now if this is the same bloody nose diesel with 6 wheels per truck. I belive it was one of the sd's and al 4 truck side fraes are gone from simply falling off two days after i bought it. i was heart broken considdering even though i only have 1 of its cupolars, no handrails and o horns, (Talk about bad luck!) i want to use it in a lash up. So my point is I don't think it is glued.

I have place on my layout where 2 s curves meet making a dip. I did this on both mainlines and yet the track does not seem perfectly even. What is the length of straight before a curve on a switch, I know THAT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE.

Does anyone know where i can get spectrum in only dc? I don't need the dcc as I am a big user of the dc block wireing system.

Thanks sadly i only have room for 18 inch on my 4x8 but really any steamer is good. I had heard the bachmann mountain could do it but i was worried about overhang.

I just bought one of the old athearn rdc-3 units and after much work i got the drive belts on. my problem is when I run it the bands gradually move turning the trucks and yanking the loco of the rails. does anyone no how to fix it.

I need to get a mainline loco for my dc block wired layout i am building. I have 2 bachmann steamers as my main steam fleet, an 0-6-0 and a prarie. I am tired of that style, can anyone sugest a steam loco that will run alright on 18 inch radius curves and prefferably has 2 copolars, i like northerns, husons mikados pacifics and berkshires best. Please help.
