Silly question I'm sure, but, Do the extra large big boy and other extra large O scale engines run/track fine on the O gauge tubular menards/lionel tinplate track?   I just want to be sure that given an 072 or larger curve those massive engines are still Ok on O scale tubular track and don't "need" Gargraves/ross.   Thx.

Thanks John, that's kinda what I thought but now that I just dropped a bundle on that new 2-10-10-2 steamer it seems foolish I didn't double-check myself first.   I'm going to try to hold off buying any more trains until after the layout (another thread) is built.  I hope you follow my threads, I can tell you clearly know your train craft.   Thx!

All scale steam and diesels and will run fine. The problem is modern era tubular  O72 switches with many of the bigger wheeled steamers
