Hi.
The 2009 Bachmann catalog states that the DDA40X requires a minimum radius curve of 22" whereas the February 2010 issue of Madel Railroader states that Bachmann recommends a curve radius of no smaller than 24". Can anybody tell me which is correct? I realize that the bigger the curve radius the better.
All the best!

Well the terminology "minimum radius" is subjective; it means something different to everyone. I would play it safe and go with 24" radius, I saw it at my LHS on the test track; it looked fine on 24, but would likely have issues on 22 if you didn't have near perfect trackwork.
I have one and run it on 22in track with no problems at all. both fast and slow. Track is Life like power lock sectional.

Thank you for the clarification. Now the waiting period until they, once again, become available.
All the best!
