George, I have one that takes my two 36" curves without problems. In
my situation I have easements on both ends of the curves so the actual
36 part is really only a foot or so. I purchased the engine used so it
had been tweaked electrically but I don't think any mechanical work was
done with the frame. I did have some minor problems with the pilot
truck derailing, but just went to a little stiffer spring.
