i know that the Super liner cars are 85 feet in real life. Do any of you think a superliner car has a chance of going around a 18 radius turn? i have a tyco cambles 90 foot box car and it goes around but i wanted to know if a superliner could. thanks for any help. i need to know this because i am going to get a AMD-103
1 stuporliner yes, 2 no.
ok let me refrase this can a consist of three super liner cars go around a 18 radius turn. i need a persons advice over the age of 13
I'm 36.
Three of the Superliner cars may make it around that 18" radiaa, but they will look heinous doing so and may derail due to the proximity of the car ends to each other. Those corners DO move closer to each other when they o around a curve.

It does work on 22 and 24 but 18 is cutting it a little close.
thanks john you didn't have to tell me your age i know you are adult i just said that because gg can't even spell super liner as you see

Try 22 at the min unless you got a few big hooks on your line to clean up the mess.

i think a 44 ton crane will work fine ;D
gg FYI nobody cares ;)
Maybe a scaled down 44 but a 200 is better.
well i have to put my 200 ton crane back on the rails. it fell of my trestle and rolled down a hill. no damage just a lot of trees smashed down in the plaster which was fixed.
mann i got to get me a AMD-103
i might get some superliner cars made by con-cor instead

It would really help your cause, if you took your time and corrected the spelling and grammar before you hit post. It makes it most difficult to understand what you are asking.

GG has been around here a lot longer than you AND he is giving you correct answers. Chances are he knows a lot more than you do, so listen to him and others and cut out the snide remarks.

I am 37.
I have both the Walthers and the Con-cor superliner cars.
The Walthers cars have body mounted couples, which make the navigation of the tighter turns difficult, or in some cases, impossible.
The Con-Cor cars have truck mounted couplers, so the couplers turn with the wheels, and stay on the tighter turns easier.
I also have (at last count) 12 AMD-103's by Athearn. Same issue. The body mounted couplers tend to force derailments on the smaller turns.
Most of my equipment is on the 33 and 35 inch radius made by Bachmann EZ track, and they work real nice there.
I hope this is helpful.
