More of the same advice here. <br /> <br />I have a 4x8 layout in HO as well. I'm considering it my "Learning" layout. The first Loco I bought was a 4-6-2 and quickly after laying my tracks I discovered that is didn't work so well on the tight turns. I then bought a 2-6-0 Mogul and it runs nicely on those turns. My GP7 which has 2 pairs of wheels on each truck (what's the official term for that? 4 axle?) runs fine on it as well. <br /> <br />Stick to the smaller stuff for best results, and do as I do when you see those big engines...drool, shrug, and carry on [:p] <br /> <br />Trevor[:)]
