Title: On30 Consolidation
Post by: CanWest on July 13, 2009, 01:39:48 PM
Hi all,

Does any one have experience in running the 2-8-0 reliably through #4 turnouts from various manufacturers?

Thanks for any info.

The only problem I have ever had with my 2-8-0 was the pilot truck would derail the way I cured that was by removing the spring on the top of  pilot truck. Over all its the BEST   and most reliable Locomotive in my roster .

I have two. No issues whatsoever. Negotiate 18" radius,  #4 turnouts.  Simply a very fine running loco.

Thanks for your input.
After doing some tests I am happy to report that the 2-8-0 Consolidation negotiates very happily an Atlas #4 crossover setup.
