What is the minimum track radius for a 1:20.3 Scale 2-6-0 Mogul?  I'm new to G scale and need an answer before buying track.

The Minimum is 4' radius or 8' Diameter, but if you remove the blind driver guide pins you can run it on a 2' Rad. 4'dia. but it looks silly with the overhangs. and you have to run cars with truck mounted couplers only. I run mine like this only at Christmas around the Christmas tree. also the center wheels don't set on the track at all but they are flangless so it runs fine. but again looks a little silly with the overhang.

P.S. I use brass track and don't run it much while it is around the tree due to the amount of wear on the track with this small a radius.
