Really looking forward to seeing this as a completed model. What is the overall length of the locomotive? What do you anticipate will be the minimum radius for it? I never saw anything on the CNJ growing up that was blue and tangerine but have seen pictures, they all looked a bit weathered.

It's 20", which is based on the 80' length of a Baldwin DR-6-4-2000 from pulling face to pulling face. Wasn't able find specs or plans of the CNJ's DRX-6-4-2000 variant, so I'm just going to assume they're the same length and run with it. As for minimum radius, The PA1 would do 31" curves before I extended it 3". I'm assuming this will require 42", but haven't tested it yet. As with many O 3-rail models, the pilots attach to the trucks, which while not prototypical, allows a tighter turning radius.
