DASH 9 AND SD45 ON 8 FT CURVES
Posted by stldodge on Sunday, August 10, 2008 7:12 PM
I have a aristo SD45 and it runs on 8 ft curves pulling cars at top speed, not having a problem going around the curves. Would a DASH 9 function in the same manner deing having the same truck configuration. Not throwing cars off the track or derailing.

It should be fine. I have run my E-8 (same trucks) pulling long smoothside cars on R3 curves without a problem.
