I am not Darth but I have a Blueline 2-6-6-4 and although it is in my display cabinet (doesn’t look right on a 4X91/2) I successfully ran it on my 22"radius no problem --Engine is 10.25"
Hi one and all ,
My computer just warned me that the site “WIMP.COM” has a bad reputation. You can see the same video by typing in the following: youtube.com/watch?v=PN_oDdGmKyA Be sure to watch the additional videos on the history of the construction of this giant model railroad in Hamburg, Germany.
The cars, trucks, and buses are available from FALLER They are a little expensive and run on batteries, but are well worth it! In addition to several cars and trucks, I have just purchased the bus that (with an additional kit will pull off the main road into the bus stop, and then stop (to pick up and drop off passengers), before returning to the highway. One suggestion for the highway, is to use a “slot car” roadway, and modify it so that it becomes a two way roadway. I installed a heavy iron wire in the slot, with Hydrocal plaster,( such that the wire is just below the surface). The magnetized cars, etc. follow the wire magnetically. My only objection is that the autos travel at too great a scale speed. Perhaps someone can suggest a way to slow down the motion,(especially when turning on street corners).

It is the big LOXX-layout in Berlin.
It’s a Bowser 4-6-6-4 Challenger I built from a kit. It’s designed to go around an 18" radius, and its length is around 17".
