Ah...   such a cool color..    No not to much hair but looks like maybe the wind has been at least 20 mph.    So how tight of curve can it take?   CAR

Hi Carshops, It will take the standard smallest 45mm track curve - I think that's Radius 1 ?

I'll take a picture of underneath and post later today. As the key is the very narrow base for the 'drivers' that allow lots of swing.

Cheers

I cut it twice and it's still too short.

Glad to see the loco is coming together.
Looks good.
Can't wait to see it in the flesh, together with its coaches.

Rowan when do you find time to work?  I'm retired and can't begin to put out all the Nutty stuff you make. Thanks for the many, many post.  I just got to get going on the projects!  Thanks for the Push..  or is it Pull.    CAR

Cool!  I like the two drivers in the middle.  You could take a four-axle diesel and make it into a 4-2-4 or a six-axle into a 6-2-6! :P
