Hello,

I was just woundering if Item number:84801, 2-6-6-2 steam loco will run on 18 radius curves?

P.s. I have code 83 atlas track.

Some will, but it will not look good, nor will it run particularly good. Bachmann recommends a minimum radius of 22 inches for this loco.

I have code 83 track and some 18"R on my layout.  My 2-6-6-2 runs fine, probably one of my best runners, but as ACY said it doesn't look too great as the cab swings way out.
