Question for the LGB afficianados, The LGB Bogie streetcar/trolley does anyone know if it will negotiate a 350mm rad curve?
A few on ebay and I dont want to bid if it wont go round my corners

All of mine will. Alyn

mine did R1 easily but R1/2 I'd like to see!

 

[Gizzy]

Thirteen and a half inches?

That's a very tight radius indeed!

But Alyn reckons it's do-able....

 

[themole]

All the chassis needs is a bit of tweeking and it will go round but the tight radius does put a strain on the bogie-mounted motors.

theres the rub
if you like this trolley as much as i,
you will be dismayed to know there are no spares for this particular model and its bogies and motor blocks, gears etc

FYI Trev
cheers

Yes, that's about a standard 42' radius curve.....

Unfortunatley for me bidding went way up beyond my expectations so I missed out.... Must be very collectable....

Still keeping an eye to the mill though.....
