Beautiful locomotive.  Runs well.  I have some 30" curves and had a little 
trouble there.  I found that I had to eliminate some imperefect track work 
at the transition into one of the curves to make the engine stop stalling. 
Not a great puller.  I have some tough grades and can't pull a large 
consist.  Not bad on level track.  Go  for it!    --Dale Reeves
