Hi Feed:

According to the new USA Trains catalog an 8ft track dia. is min. [B)]

It also lists the DRGW # R22613 coming in road #s 5506, 5507, 5508. [:D]

Hope that helps, have fun: Jeff [8D]

Hi Feed:

The best pictures I have seen so far on on San-Val's website.

I understand a pre-production model was in their hands for the pics.

You need to check them out! [;)]

Happy New Year! Jeff [8D]
