Minimum Radius for the new 2-10-4's?

[scax330]

Hi All,

I've been thinking about getting one (or two) of the new DCC Santa Fe 2-10-4's.

What is their minimum operating radius? Do they use blind drivers like IHC's 2-10-2's? Almost as importantly, what do folks think of them? I would assume they run as well as any other recent Bachmann but I have yet to see an actual review online or in print, of these locomotives.

Any info is welcome. Thanks!

Idid a bit of a review on the 2-10-4 in an earlier post .
It will not run on 18"curves . It is a bit noisy but not extremely so. The body is a direct copy of the one they mfg about 20 years ago . The power train is new and the  tender is new . I purchased mine on line and the price was reasonable at somewhere around $100.00.

Dear SCAX,
You will need 22" radius for this loco.
Have fun!
