Tin-Plate and 27" curves - compatible??

I imagine you didn't find what you were looking for on the tinplate forum because most all of us who are running tinplate O gauge (aside from Marx) are not using O27 track/curves, and thus lack the hands-on experience with it.  At minimum, most all of us are using O31 as a minimum.

 Walt,

My Lionel/MTH 262E (11-6023-1) with PS3 works!..I took out the O-27 Micro-Christmas tree loop and it runs fine.

Loco/tender is attached to an 800 series car, also new Lionel/MTH

... just a bit of overhang on the curves!

I'm getting into the tinplate side of things too.  The Girls' Set, Celebration Set and Christmas Set caught my eye!  Planning on a 4.2' x 9' layout with grey carpet.  Hopefully I'll start on it before you post your next Christmas Layout!

Ed

Alan: yes, I agree with that but I was HOPING that at least  few people might help me out by doing what Ed was kind enough to do.

Thanks Ed, you are the only person that has actual hands-on that answered, so it's very appreciated.  Maybe your experiment will prompt a few others to try.

I asked my local hobby store if I could bring some curves to his shop and try - not actually under electrical power but just hand-operating it by slightly lifting the engine so that it didn't drag and then just seeing if it will handle 27".  a big fat 'No, I can't let you do that'.

thanks - walt

Walt,

Check your other thread.

Thanks Jim, I did.  I asked a question of you there.
