PierreProctor, it's not the corners (curves?!) it's going backwards on the brakes while sitting on a rail mounted kitchen stool that takes nerve. The little yellow unit once did a complete 360. In the vertical, due to excessive speed and braking. The driver came up and said,"I think the battery leaked a bit." Got back on and drove back to the shed S_L_O_W_L_Y!!
Dear Jesus Christ sweet Lord in HEAVEN! - That my friend is an outdoors scening ghost train ride, not a railway! LOL
Seriously, it's great and takes some balls to take curves down to that size. The flanges on my Tich wheels wouldn't last long round there! :D
My club (Brighouse & Halifax ME) traditionally worry about curves less than 50ft rad, they spoil the fun by making locos with more than four wheels :( LOL
Wow, That's some tight curves! and I was worried that 12 foot radius would be too tight! Well that puts my fears at rest! I bet the flange squeal is deafening though!
Spoils all the fun!! It's wise to let someone else take the first train of the day though. That way they can collect all the spiders!!!! New loco coming along too.
