Will a MTL GP35 run on 120mm curves reliably without uncoupling or binding? I have a small table (13" x 19") that I would like to create a small layout on using the Rokuhan track. I would be running all MTL rolling stock with the GP35. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for looking.
I think Marklin's 145's are the limit. My GP9 (same chassis) couldn't do it. The F7/3 is a shorter chassis and will come fairly close. Jim
Like Jim said, I wouldnt go with anything tighter then 145's with a GP35, but I did build a shadow box layout with a tighter radius. I had to go with a pilot mounted coupler to do it. It lets the trucks to track through the tighter curves.
See this video from Garth Hamilton. GP9 and GP35 is same chassis as mentioned by Jim. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtdX6VnB0xI
