I am just getting back into the hobby and have a few basic questions. My planned layout has two main lines, one with a minimum 22” radius and the other with 18” in a few spots (not all). What problems will I run into with the 18” radius if any? <br /> <br />Also, my wife went to the hobby shop and bought me what they said was a very good engine. (Early Christmas gift) They sold her the KATO EMD SD40-2 snoot Nose. Is this a good engine and will it run well on the main line with the 18” radius. I want an engine that will run very smooth and will perform at slow speeds. Is this a good one or should I be looking at other brands. I would test it out but I do not have anywhere to run it yet. It will be another few months until I begin construction. <br /> <br />Thanks in advance for any advice anyone might have. I look forward to reading the responses. <br /> <br />Jeff <br />
