Can anyone tell me if the Con-Cor 4-6-6-4 N-scale locomotives with the centipede tender can handle a 19" turning radius?
Atlas offers turning radius of 9 3/4,11 and 19 in.,the latter being their widest offered,so I believe it should be able to handle anything like your 4-6-6-4(would like to have one of these).Lately,they’ve come up with wider radius tracks in their code 55 tracks(up to 60+in. radius,I think).
Depending on your loco’s design,I’d say yes,but if you haven’t built your layout yet,try to accomodate the widest possible curves for this one,it’ll definitely look better on wide curves.
I’ve run my Con-Cor N scale Big Boy with centipede tender on 11" and even over Peco 9" turnouts without a problem. Looks a bit funky on less than 12" if it’s more than just a turnout length.
