Shay and Climax will work on the 4 footers, the Heisler though does need the 6er's , its drivetrain is too long for the 4 footers and will bind up...at least thats the warning I got. <br /> <br />I have the Hiesler ,and it has absolutely no problem with R1 curves. I have checked the travel on the trucks and there is still alittle bit of travel left on R1's. My track is just laid out on the grass so it is by no means smooth and level. The Hiesler handles it like a champ. It actually derails less than any other loco I have. The only time it has ever derailed was pulling 15 cars up an aprox. 4% grade with a R1 curve at the top. The front axle derailed.
