Hello Steam Freak !

My 2-6-6-2 likes the LGB R3 (Radius 1116mm, inner rail).

It also goes over R1 (600mm), but only very very slow and only, when the track (turnouts) are posisitioned very exact. She doesn't really like it and swueezes with the wheels !

I use that only for "parking in the yard".

By the way, this also does not look nice, because the cylinders of the back truck move very far besides the machine.

So my recommendation is minimum radius LGB R2.

Enjoy that beautiful machine !
