I have operated the Overland 2-8-2 out of the box on a 33-inch radius s-curve without any problem. A sharper radius may be possible, because our friends at the NMRA state in RP 11 <http://www.nmra.org/standards/rp-11.html> that an S scale model with the USRA mikado's wheelbase of 16-feet, 9-inches should "operate satisfactorily at restricted speed" on 31-inch radius curves. On this model the first sign of a radius that is too tight will probably be that the top of the tender coal gate touches the cab roof, creating a short circuit. -- Bill Roberts, Receiver San Antonio & Aransas Pass Railway Co. * * * Notice to travelers * * * We invite criticism.
