I was not going to respond, but this post peaked my curiousity. I had never heard that large locomotives will not negotiate a #4 turnout. My staging is double ended, sits on the third (bottom) level and uses solely #4 turnouts and code 100 track. I do not have any diesel locomotives, but do have several 2-6-6-2 articulated locos that have the back engine fixed to the boiler. Never, ever have I had a problem with equipment negotiating these turnouts. The larger locomotives look terrible negotiating these tighter turnouts, but they have never gone to the ground while running through them. Maybe now that I have been informed that this is a no-no, I will begin to experience difficulty operating large steam locomotives through #4 turnouts (just kidding). <br /> <br />Tom
