I want to thank all that responded, I realized that after I started my inquiry that "Annie" meant Anniversary model.  I just want to say that my 10 wheeler really runs well and you all have made me feel that the additions/detailing I'm making on my Loco is the right thing to do as it really runs strong after 3-years of running outdoors in Phoenix Az., even in plus 100 degrees.

I have 10 wheeler "Annie" that I got in starter set.  Is there a major differance in my loco and the newer anniversary 10 wheeler.  I noted that Bachman says the new addition has metal siderods and latest drive system.  How much differance if any is there in the latest drive system?

Thanks for the reply.  Great PICS!!!

Aristo-Craft recomends minimum 6.5 ft radius for their Pacific Steam 4-6-2, have any of you run it on a 5 ft radius and did it work O.K.

What is the minimum radius this set up will work under???
