Hi all,
I have decided to turn in my Thomas stuff and move to Trams.....
I really like the Big Haulers 1:29th scale Trams but am wondering if they will run round R1 points and curves ?
Cheers Andy.
I'm a little confused. Are you asking about the Big Hauler (two axle) trams or the Peter Witt (4 axle) trams? I think that the BH trams are 1:22.5/24 or there about. The Peter Witt trams are 1:29.
The two axle trams should be able to handle 4' diameter curves (R1). Because it is a tram, I would think, but don't know for sure, that the 1:29 would also handle R1 curves. Someone else with have to come up with a definitive answer on that.
I think that I remember an article in the June 2015 GARDEN RAILWAYS MAGAZINE about a tram layout. That article should have a lot of information in it. Unfortunately, I can't find mine at the moment.

I found the article. It is by Joe Crea, his minimum radius is 24". He has a two truck PCC trolly car and a two truck interurban. Both are 1:24 and neither are Bachmann. If these work, the other trams should also work.

Thank for answering Chuck..
