One thing to keep in mind when the manf. recommends a min.radius that the track they test on is probably close to perfect,probably not pulling anything close to what a typical model railroader is going to put behind one of these awesome beasts.Like Texas Zepher said 30 in is great but 36 in is greater. espically if your are building to get the best look and prototype operation, There are alot of rigid frame locos like the 2- 10 -4 and 2-10 -2 and i would allmost bet that they wont operate as well as advertised on 22in radius curves.Bli is soon to release the C&O 2-10-4 it states a min.radius of 24 in,but i bet after it is released 30 in probably will be the min.you can operate and stay somewhat trouble free.Looking forward to see ing some of the pics when you post them.
