Sorry Craig, I've superheated looking at AC4400 cause I love it. But mine is N scaled and run with eight dashed on 14inches minimum radius.Remember they are used on 1st class railroad pulling heavy and priority load. . . The wheel base is about 60feet and the radius is only 160feet, then think about coupling problem, sure the coupleurs overhang a bit on these curves. That's some reasons why I've switched on N eighteen years ogo. Didier

hello all..its my first post.
i am going to buy an athearn cp rail ac4400.
my layout is based on 22inch radius and i was wondering if it will run ok.
my athearn sd40-2 runs well on 22inch but the ac4400 has a slight increase
in wheel base.any comments will help!
thanks/craig
