i saw a few on ebay( not sure how to post a picture yet). are they worth the money? and are there cheaper sources or no. thanks
One of Larry's Schnabel's (I think he had more than one) is now trying to make it's way around my layout. With the large engine's that I have (Big Boy, UP DD40AX, others), I never thought about my scenery being in the way of a train. I don't know if I saw a minimum radius, and the car actually makes my curves, but if you are contemplating a Schnabel, make sure that you have WIDE curves and clear 'right of way' path around them. I think you should be looking at 40-45" right of way for one. My Schnabel is back in its box, waiting for a re-design of the scenery.
But it's still a NICE car !
