As I enter into making a road, I keep reading on the back of my GR magazine (Aug 04 issue) which has a 2-8-8-2 on it. <br />Well read below about the 2-8-8-2 USRA Type Mallet middle of it. <br />[quote]QUOTE: <br />The Aristo-Craft Mallet will look great on a big layout with generous curves yet it will be at home on railroads with an 8 foot diameter curve. [/quote] <br />[#soapbox] <br />OK.....#1 my RR is 120'x50' and the diameter curve is 7.5. <br />OK.....#2 not all people have this type of layout they can construct!!!!!!! <br /> <br />I WILL keep my eyes open and call in my orders to make dang sure I get what I can handle. <br />Some compaies are eeeeeerrrrrrrr never mind. Just what do they think???????
