Alone it can negotiate 18" radius but doesn't look very good in my opinion. With Walthers and several other brands of longer passenger cars you need 24" radius (some require larger radius due to the undercarriage details), with shorter passenger cars you can run on 22" radius. What passenger cars do you have?

I've got some Rivarosis with swing-mount couplers, and some ancient Tyco streamliners with Talgos.  Both handle 18-inch curves.  I don't run them in the same train.

I'm thinking of this engine for the future.  I'm close to retirement, which will also mean relocation for tax reasons, and hopefully a larger basement.  I'd like to have room for an electrified main line with big curves, but that's still years away.

Thank you for bringing an affordable HO-scale GG1 to the market!  It is fondly remembered from my childhood in O-gauge.

What is the minimum radius for these engines?  Since it's long, can it handle passenger cars at that radius?

Thanks.
