New Bachmann 2-10-4 with oil tender

Is anyone running the New 2-10-4 Bachmann Santa Fe with oil tender on 22in radius? This is the new release that looks like the Non-Spectrum 4-8-4. Does it bind or slow down in curves?

Thanks

Bob

This is an upgraded version of the old Bachmann 2-10-4 that’s been around at least 20-30 years or more. I believe it’s able to take 18" radius curves IIRC, but I don’t have one to test. BLI’s 2-10-4 slows down a little around 22" curves but will make it thru OK, but it likes bigger curves.

According to the Bachmann Rep in the Bachmann forums, it will run on 22 inch but not less than that.
