Hello Everyone--

Has anyone had any experience running Bachmann's 85' Amfleet coach (item No. 13108) on 22" radii?  How did they negotiate this radius, especially with their body mounted couplers? 

Thanks,

Steve

They do just fine in my experience, although they do look a bit strange.

Hi Steve
I limit my cars to 40' on our 18", when we expand to 22" will limit to 50'.  Will probably work, maybe, but as the drunk said "Oh the hangover"  LOL

I think he means in the Acela Regional ("Lava-Lamp") paint.
