Third Rail Minimum Turn Radii
Posted by carney2 on Wednesday, January 31, 2018 9:06 AM

I have four Third Rail locomotives, at least two of which require a huge turn radius.  Does anyone know where to find what the minimum turn radius is for various locomotives?

There is a sister forum focused on O-Gauge that will likely be a better place to find answers:

Have you tried contacting Third Rail for specifications?  From what I know T-R builds O gauge scale locomotives and the minimum turn radii can vary greatly from model to model.

Try this link, www.sunsetmodels.com  for Third Rail info.
