Title: Spectrum 4-4-0 actual true minimum radius
Post by: norman on January 19, 2015, 05:26:11 PM
Hi Guys:

What is the actually real world minimum track radius for the 4-4-0 to run on?

Will the 4-4-0 run OK on three foot radius ( six foot diameter track ) ?

Has anyone modified the front truck to reduce the minimum radius ? How did you modify  the front truck?


Thanks!

Norman

It will probably run on 3 foot radius. The inside wheel may raise a bit.

The truck mount system has two slotted areas that can be lengthened to allow more side travel.

Ours runs on the Bachmann Big Hauler two foot radius track after the modification if I keep the sliding areas lubricated to move freely.
