Ahhh...that looks good.
I´ve sworn off the K27 because of my 48ft radius, but when i see such vids, it comes over me. It IS simply a nice little piece of loco, isnt it?

Hi Frank
All my curves and points are R3 on my line the loco goes round them all ok even the S bends i have . The only problem i did encounter was the wires between loco and tender pulling out on the corners but don't have this problem now as i keep loco and tender together at all times .

... because of my 48ft radius...

Gosh Frank, that's a big one!
Do you mean your tummy size?

Richie, the video just confirms how interesting your line is.
Can't wait for the next open day...

Nico, get well soon, please.

[coyote97]

LOL!!!!

48 ft radius!
thats a fine joke, sorry!!!


48 " for sure!

Wow...48ft would make a GREAT SMOOTH movement!


even R3 switches???
that sounds good. Maybe there will be a K27 coming...lets see.
