Williams bl2 on 031?

Anyone have this and run on 031 radius? Want to pick one up but it seems like a pretty long engine and scale sized I believe. How does it take the tight curves?

It runs well on 027 so it should run on 031.I'm pretty sure its the same chassis as the GP-9                                                                                                 Ed

I have a Bangor & Aroostok BL2 and it runs fine on 031.  It was designed that way.  And let me add that with its 2 motors,  this can pull a load easily.  It glides nicely to a stop, too.  I have a 4.5% grade that doesn't stall this engine. It just goes great pulling about 10 scale heavy cars up the grade easily.  I've added more and still no problem.  Good choice!
