Hi,


I've just completed an indoor layout with lots of R1 curves and 12000 switches and the 3 truck shay is handling very well.

Did lots of testing before building layout as it was limited on space hence the R1 curve requirement.

Now planning to invest in a second and possibly third shay as they climb very well, with approx 8% grade  :)

Good luck
