Yes, it's the radius question...

Sorry, you're quite right that it can't be properly addressed without that. I should have covered that up front. <br /> <br />Well, I loosely model late 1940's PRR in the Central PA (i.e. around Harrisburg) region. My longest rolling stock is 80' heavyweight passenger cars, which are probably half my fleet (I'm heavily into passenger ops compared to many). The other rolling stock, freight cars of this era, is simply not an issue on that front - typically 40'. <br /> <br />Motive power is lots of M1's (4-8-2) and K-4s (4-6-2). There's also a T-1 (4-4-4-4) and a single 2-6-6-2 to complicate matters, though it runs fine on 22" and looks fine too (to me). <br /> <br />The Burlington Zephyr is waiting to take an occasional PR tour of the region (Yeah, that violates my era, but I live with it). And to make my daughter happy and horrify any real sticklers out there, Thomas the Tank Engine makes the occasional jaunt around the place... Definitely no radius issues there, though! Nor any radius concern with the various geared locos and log/ore cars for the mining/logging areas.
