Hi,
I'm considering ordering the latest Athearn GP7u due for release late 2014/early 2015.
However, amongst the accompanying notes on the website of the model shop (in the UK) from whom I intend to make my purchase, I note that it states a minimum radius for the loco of 18 inches. The problem I have is that the ovals of track at each end of my layout are 15 inches each, so I was wondering whether any members out there could advise e.g. perhaps they already have another model from the Genesis range that currently negotiates tight curves such as mine?
Incidentally, the frames of my Bachmann 38-2 have no problems on the 15 inch curves.
Hoping and trusting I've placed this in the right section of the forum, and thanks in anticipation,
jonte
