Track radius (5') & g scale Baldwin 2-6-6-2

[Geardriver]

Dear Sir can a g scale 2-6-6-2 run on 5' dia track at all (slowly)? If not what is minimum dieter track and turn out #? I bout it because of its' unique beauty and historic significants. I have a 2truck Shay and Heisler and am happy! Gearhead

5' radius or 5' diameter?

I've run one on 2' radius (4' diameter) curves, so it should handle a 5' diameter curve. However, because it's a large locomotive, it doesn't look particularly pleasing doing so, and I cannot say whether it will be able to pull anything around curves that tight. (The one I had here was running light.) It depends on how much coupler swing you have.

Personally I wouldn't, but it is capable of doing so at least in a limited capacity.

Later,
