Does anyone know if the Lionel Trackmobile will negotiate SuperStreets curves?
I am hoping D16 isn't too sharp, but if it is, will it negotiate D21 curves?

I run trackmobile on 031 switches and curves at all speeds and have no problem. They are very tiny and are listed to run on 027 also. I'm not sure how this relates to your use on super streets but no one was posting so I figured I'd offer the little info I had.
I ask because my work decided to use rail to remove limestone (used in our circulating fluidized bed boilers). The motive power we decided to use is a Trackmobile. I get the biggest kick out of seeing it operate, especially when it lifts itself off the track and onto the road (at a railroad crossing, or where track and pavement are level) and drives off on the road.
Though I can't duplicate that operation, I could approximate the same operation via the use of SuperStreets to connect one spur with another on the other side of the layout. So I would like to know how the Trackmobile would operate on SuperStreets.
I just tried it - Works great forward & backwards.
My son has a Figure 8 of D16 that I ran it on.

Thanks. That's good to hear.
