Thinking about purchasing new sealed in box K-Line NYC E8 with TMCC. Current layout is radially challenged and all curent passenger cars on the roster are traditional or Railking size. I've checked the Legacy K-line site and the set I believe it to be does not list minimum diameter. Could anyone with K-line E8s please tell me the minimum radius and how they look pulling shorter passenger cars?

I would imagine that 0-54 would be about as low as you'd want to go. Here are mine on 0-72 and even there you can see little bit of overhang. I think 0-36 would look kind of odd IMHO, even if they could handle the tight corners.
Thanks Mike, I had a feeling they would be too long for my layout.
If you like the E series diesels with their handsome lines and 6 wheel trucks, consider the Rail King line. MTH has quite a variety of road names available over the years and they would certainly look more in proportion to the shorter cars...
To C.SAM's point, the Railking E8' are very nice, albeit not scale. They are one of the better compression jobs that MTH has done over the years...IMHO.
