hello, im finishing up my track work on my 3x4 layout and the whole layout is basically one main line thats a rounded off rectangle, but i find that my 280 consolidation just wont take the turns, there at a 9 3/4 radius but i have to admit the turns are tight, but on my old layout i had the 11 in radius in a complete turn and i had minimal problems, does anyone know why this would happen, or are steam engines just not meant for small layouts, im kinda depressed now considering spent the money on the consolidation, but i guess ill have to stick to diesel power, okay well l will be watchng the topic, hope i can get some help.
