Posted by Steve B-8AVEXP on Tue Oct 4 14:17:54 2005, in response to Re: Modeling Curves (Was: Re: NYC Minimum Curve Radius, posted by Jeff H. on Tue Oct 4 02:01:38 2005. A. C. Gilbert's Pike Master track, introduced when the company started its downward spiral, has extremely tight curves. A 4-8-4 American Flyer Northern for example cannot negotiate the curve while the earlier GP-7 trucks won't swing out far enough because of the long end steps. These steps had to be shortened later. The front coupler had to be removed from Alco PA units as well. The track looked realistic, but was cheaply made. |
