Many 6 axle diesels and larger steam will run around 22" curves. But with the Rutland, that really isnt a problem if your staying in the diesel era. What doesnt like 22"s are 89' box cars, TOFC flat cars and Autoracks. I run mid 80's era with a pair of 4 axle diesels, modern grain hoppers, 50' box cars and articulated double stack cars(early Sea Land operation on the NYSW). I only wish I had your space to work with! Mike
Here is a pic of train UT-1 heading thru town. Still a long ways to go scenery wise. Mike
