I have also been interested in the same answer. I am planning a logging section for my layout and I wanted some tight radius curves to feature one of the advantages that the Shay, Heisler and Climax were known for. I don't think the models can do as tight a scale radius as the prototypes. I am in the process of building a test track on a 60" x 60" piece of plywood. The outer circle is 28" radius (to be used for break in and tuneup of engines) the spiral starts from there with an ever decreasing radius. I have had to stop laying track to finish another project. I will then be testing all of my engines and develop a data base. I will post an answer to your question hopefully by July. I hope someone else can answer sooner. <br /> <br />Don F.
