I am thinking of getting some and need to know if they will operate on a 24" radius. My return loops for staging are 24" radius, I can operate these at restricted speeds if needed. My mainline radius is 30", so I don’t think I will have a problem there.

Also, what is the distance on the truck centers and overall length.

Thanks in advance,

The distance from the truck center to one end is 9.75", Overall length is 19.5"

I am also using the long strip (placed in the middle truck) so that it can go on the tighter curves, I think. The short strip is probably used for the larger radius (?).

IIRC, I think that the instructions said that they “can” run on an 18" radius. I haven’t really ran it the track yet, so I have no idea if it can.

Hsin86…Thanks for the input…Anyone else run them on 24" radius?
