Hello all.
I have two Bachmann doodle bugs and all 40 foot rolling stock except for two 50 cars.
Can I use 22 inch cures? also #4 turnouts in my yard?
Thanks

22" curves will be just fine with the equipment you've listed.  Those curves should handle any of Bachmann's loco offerings in either steam or diesel.  The No. 4 turnouts are tight, but will be OK with rolling stock up to 50 feet.  The doodlebugs should go through them OK, too, though they may have some overhang.  Running a string of 80 foot passenger cars or auto carriers through No. 4's is asking for trouble, though.

Hey EBTNUT 
Thanks for that info.
