Hello
Im new to this forum and a little new to Model Railroading. I have question about a loco I was interested in purchasing and was hoping to get some advice. I was interested in purchasing an MTH SPD GS4 HO locomotive. Its quite expensive and I guess I want to be sure it will be right for my layout before I shell out the cash.
I run a reasonable size layout but i'm not too sure what size curves I have, as they have been custom made for my layout to fit the limited space I have. its definitely larger than 18" but not sure if its quite 22" which is recommended for this loco. Has anybody had any experience with this loco on radius that is measured less than 22"?
The curves I have designed measure up at roughly 20". Will this loco's operation be too temperamental for my setup?
Also will it run on DC only?
Thanks in advance
