Hello everyone. I ordered one of the new Polar Express Lionel Legacy Berkshires. As I am redesigning my layout some turnouts will have to use Atlas O45 switches and O45 curves to conserve space. I have heard these engines can run on Fastrack O48. Can they run on Atlas O45?
Thank you much for the help. -Ryan

I seriously doubt it. Its rated for O54, so you're forcing it on O48 as it is. I find it a challenge to keep the pony truck on the track even on O72 if the track work is less than perfect.
Not gonna happen. On 048 fastrack the pilot wheels rub the steamchest.
Thank you for the info. That is what I figured. I will have to rework that interlocking to use O54. I want to make the layout as reliable as I can. The rest is all O63 minimum.

I have the Lionel NKP scale Berkshire from 2014 and it ran fine on my 045 Atlas track!
