The above information is wrong.

1,000 apologies.

C O R R E C T I O N !

It's the SD 24 that will run on 18" which has the same chassis as the SD35.

Excellent catch by NIGEL M.

You can also substitute 40 in place of 24 to see the SD40 model.

NIGEL.
Thanks.
I wired Rob this AM and still waiting for his reply. If I were a smart fellow I would have hard copied his offical comment covering some kind of new three axle model that runs on 18" but?

Catch up to you at the next coal tower.

One other question. Can the derailment be avoided by installing KD#26 longer shank?

Hi Chuck;

I do not believe that any Kadee is long enough.

May be, but it will squeal, and derail they car coupled to it. The Dash 8-40C is longer than a C30-7.

I'm not interested in the Dash8-40C and didn't pay attention but I thought Bob Pisani/Atlas replied to that 18"radius question.
