Lionel 6-38000 Empire State Express

I am looking to buy a 6-38000 and want to make sure it is compatible with my layout.

Does anyone have experience running the 6-38000 on O42 track? (I know it is spec'd at O54).  I will be using cars compatible with O42.  Also, does anyone know the combined length of the engine + tender?

Thank you!

The scale sized ESE might shove through O42, but it probably won’t like it, and more than likely will look goofy doing it. …..If your layout has no future plans for wider curves, etc., I’d stick with the traditional sized locomotives, like the Kline you mentioned on your other thread. ….the smaller, traditional sized engines will glide through O42 happily,…..
