That track spacing is 2+1/2" between CL's. Thus this loco requires a minimum of 1+1/4" clearance at its outer side on this 28.5" curve.</p> <p>Note that another Allegheny, or one of the longer freight cars, could be traveling on that outer track and still NOT interfere with this inner Allegheny.</p> <p> </p> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>I was listing some things that would cause issues, I have not been following the other thread.</p>
