[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by whiterab Another consideration on tight curves is "How long a train are you planning to run?" My trains slow more on the curves (12 foot diameter) then they do on the grades (3 -4 %). [/quote] That sure is right about curve resistance. In my old layout I had 12ft dia curves with no grades, because that's all the room I had. My Bachman 2-4-2 would get into wheel spin when the full 4 wagon train was on the curve. To my surprise the same engine could haul 13 bigger wagons with no problems on a friends layout which even had grades, but much bigger curves. Glen.
