Minimum 54 inch requirements

Here is a cheap solution if you have a small layout and own or want one of these engines. Put a dummy engine behind your big engine and you can navigate 36 inch curves. I bought this engine and it is so big with those goofy new couplers when I went to 60 inch curves my options were so limited I didn't like it at all. But I was reading on the internet about a gentleman who did this so i tired it. Now it works great. I am retired now and live in a apartment so my size is limited. Here are some pictures. Oh and yes it works great thru the switches. Even when I did use 60 inch curves it would still derail the cars backing up. Now I don't have that problem.
