Hello All,
I have a Lionel 6-18009 Mohawk that I will pass on to a nephew soon. The problem may be his 0-36 curves. Does anyone know what the minimum curve diameter is for this engine?
Thank you,
John T

Minimum curve: O-42
Loco and tender measures over 28" long

As Vernon said, O42 is the minimum for operation. But for appearance sake, the better choice would be O72 or greater. I think the Mohawk was the longest O gauge locomotive that Lionel had ever made, up to that time (1990.)
Thanks gentlemen, appreciate the information. I am sure this was their largest engine up to then. I have upgraded mine with a can motor, Cruise Commander and Railsounds.

Since 042 is the minimum curve, if you are using Fastrack you will need 048. There is no 042 in Fastrack.
