Hello. This my first post. Hopefully not my last! I'm new to O gauge, having jumped in about 10 months ago after many years in N scale (which I still do) and a little HO. I've been impressed by the advice I've seen handed out here and it's been both educational and it's saved me money (e.g. not buying a MTH Rail King Proto 1 Milwaukee Road 4-6-4 Hudson because I learned their drivers suffer from zinc rot).
I've got some questions about the the Atlas O 4-4-2 Atlantic that I hope people can answer. I don't have one but I am considering getting one.
1.) My tightest (and most common) curves are MTH Real Trax O31 (which as you know is really a lot closer to O27). Can the Atlas 4-4-2 go around them?
2.) I've read elsewhere in this forum that this loco is closer to S scale (1:64). Can anyone please give me actual measurements of the loco's length, width, and height? I know O27 isn't to scale but I am trying to buy stock that isn't wildly different in size so even if they aren't true 1:48, at least they are the same height and width and look okay together side-by-side. Is the Atlas Atlantic close in "scale" to the MTH Rail King K4 4-6-2 Pacific? I've found the RK stock I have has worked out to roughly 1:55 or so, at least height-wise. Many thanks in advance for your help!
