Lance, Let me suggest to you that You might want to extend your tables to 6x8 this will give you more room for a bigger radius. You can get about a 30. I know that you might not be able to do this but it would really help. You would be able to run a complete loop at 30 so you could run your Big Boy and GG1. With a 4x8 22inch radius is all you can work out. Another idea is a point to point layout not a continous loop. You could get more track on your layout and run your big engines to. These are only suggestion, I do not want to tell you what to do. I Had to make it larger to be able to accept Spectrum Passenger Cars. I was then given a 2-10-4 and it was a good thing that I made the radius that big. Large gondolas, large flat cars, and large freight cars will also have a hard time with smaller radius. And some won't even go around 22inch radius. Again these are only my ideas. Just here to help. Good Luck Ross
