Guys, I think Kato SD70 negotiates 9 3/4 turns very nice. However there are two regular and one cosmetic issues worth noting: Regular issue: 1) The rolling stock next to the engine should be short one. It would help the whole train negotiate the curve better. 2) The default coupler shanks that come with SD70 are short. You can get the bigger ones and change them to get a better coupling. Also, if you intent running two SD70 back2back/, that causes uncoupling/derailment. Cosmetic issue: The overhang of the SD70 negotiating the curve may appear unrealistic to some(Many). My suggestions: SD70's are definitely nice addition to any railroader’s collection. You can try running them but may need to rearrange the bogies to place the shorter one near the loco. I have couple of SD70 but my tracks are Kato UNITRACK. They run cool. Thanks
