Large Scale Central

Aristo-craft 2-8-2 Mikado

what is considered the minimum radius or diameter curve to run one on, will it traverse LGB 1600 series track? Any info would be appreciated, Bill

Page 12OPERATIONWhen running by itself or coupled to another locomotive or cars, this locomotive requires a minimum track diameter of 8’. This is a large locomotive and smaller diameter curves may cause derailments and clearance problems. Smaller curves will also cause cars coupled to the locomotive be pulled completely off of the rails.

Thanks David, exactly what I needed to know, Bill

I have 20’ curves and my LS Mike still binds a little when it goes around them.
