I have a plastic track layout in my backyard which is permanently screwed down to 4 by 4 pressure treated posts. The diameter of the curve sections is roughly 4.5 feet. If you ever owned a g scale battery operated toy train set, you'll probably know width of the curve I'm talking about. I currently use Scientific Toys LTD.'s radio control battery operated train sets. These train engines suck. The engines produce a disturbing grinding sound as it moves and there is no speed control. The engine keeps derailing on the curve portions of my layout. Also, the engine itself looks too crappy and toyish for my beautiful layout. Can the Hartland Locomotive Works: Princess 2-4-4 G-Scale Forney Locomotive run on my plastic track? Especially on the curve sections without derailing? I'm going to convert the engine to battery, radio control operation as well. <br /> <br />
