Weaver RS-3 minimum Radius

coach joeOGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

I am interested in a Magma Copper RS-3 built by Weaver that is currently for sale on ebay.

Due to the size of my layout I have a maximum radius of 42" on the outer loop only, every thing else is 31" and 27". Does any one have any idea what is the minimum radius of this engine? The current production RS-3s have a 31" minimum, however the Magma RS-3 appears to have fixed pilots, unlike the current production RS-3s. Any input on Weaver RS-3s with fixed pilots would be appreciated.

I bought an older one (red Box, I think) unknowing the radius. I thought it was 031 but the insert said it was 042 minimum radius. I had to send it back.

Thanks Brain. I went back to the auction, one of the photos had the instructions laying under the add on detail and I could see that it says "...IT WILL OPERATE ONLY ON 21" TRACK..." which is the actual radius of O-42 track. I'll have to pass.
