YES IT CAN! Watch a Lionel legacy easily clear O-36 curves and switches

Looks great! I was a little nervous for those trees, though!

LoL! Me too... I had put everything in place on the layout before I had this beast to check clearance. But trees, lights, houses, IR controllers, T-Rex, the SD70M miraculously cleared the track. I guess I just have an eye for it. 😁

Interesting video but you'll probably get some feedback about the 'vertical' video. 😉

Just enjoy your trains!

Video looks great on my phone!  Nice loco and layout.

That narrow video adds to the suspense, making it seem even tighter for the locomotive

Yes! I am an M. Night Shyamalan of the train video world!😁

Remember, lashups and vertical video are "those we don't speak of".

Madockawando, nice locomotive and layout. I like how you did the backdrop but don’t let Rich Melvin see that video!

And just to show you I can do videos the right way:

I've seen a locomotive from Lionel that the box, manual, printed catalog, and online page all had a different min radius.  I just use common sense, or try it for myself.  I have found that all my locomotives have been able to go on a curve at least one size smaller then the recommended, sometimes tighter.
