Was wondering if anyone had trouble running RMT Beeps on 036 Fastrack?

None at all, they will run on O27 if you have it.
Not at all. They run for hours at our meets/shows.

I just modified a prewar Flyer 1218 with a BEEP power chassis for a Holiday show. Based on past shows, I expect this to run for 100-200 hours with normal maint.

OK thanks. Was wondering how it ran on 036 Fastrack curves?
I ran mine for years on my Christmas display at the local historic theater on O-36 Fastrack. The only issue I had was that the screws holding the couplers on sometimes liked to back out. I'm sure a dab of loctite or super glue on the threads would solve that. Other than that they're great reliable runners for the price. I'm sure the newer ones with tethers between them so you can run two for better pickup and power are even better.

My Holiday layout that I run them on uses 034 curves, so 036 should be even better.
