Peter Witt Radius

[Bill Baker]

To anyone who has a Peter Witt Street Car,

I've just finished laying track for my Peter Witt in which it comes down the middle of one street in my city and turns a 90 degree angle to go down another street. I believe Bachmann advertises that it will negotiate a 9 inch radius turn. Well, good news! In two of my turns it negotiates what I would estimate a 71/2 inch to 8 inch radius. I used code 83 flex track in which I slowly bent the track to connect with the other. Although the ties are somewhat eskewed, the guage remained well enough to prevent any track jumping or derailment.  I've run over a dozen times with no problems yet. 

So, for those who are attempting to use the PW on tight radii, go ahead and try it. Now I just wonder if it will negotiate a 7 to 71/2 inch radius.
