[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by twhite Tom: I think 22" radius is just about the minimum for the Spectrum 4-8-2. Are you using sectional track? If so, make sure that the joints are secure and even. You might want to buy a Ribbonrailer 22" radius track gauge at your LHS and test out the curves--the Ribbonrailer sets right between the rails and checks the radius as you push it along. Also, a thought--a tiny bit of lead weight on top of the front wheelset of your pilot truck. There is no spring to hold the truck down, so a small flat piece of lead might do it. Good luck.
