Minimum curve radius for N scale steam locos
Posted by liquidcross on Tuesday, February 24, 2004 9:46 AM
I guess this would apply to diesels, too, but steam locos are generally longer. Anyways, what's the minium curve radius I can have so that a steam loco won't derail? I'm not going to push my luck with a monster 4-8-8-4 loco, obviously; I'm thinking more along the lines of 2-8-0's and such.
N scale late 1970s-early 1980s Chessie System layout in progress.
