I often wonder about these fine scale models as far as running them in a garden railway setting.

I have bought one (Broadway Limited) 1 gauge postal car from the same manufacturer of this Allegheny (FAM) and tried running it on my garden railway which has a radius of 3 meter (diameter 6 meter). It would not run (derailed at various places on my track) so I asked the manufacturer (G. Kohs) and he said his models were not made to run and certainly not on a small radius of 3 meter! I have no running problems with other fine scale gauge 1 items (like ASTER, KISS, Fulgurex, KM1) including the largest (BigBoy) on my track. The FAM caboose does run, but I will never buy another FAM item, although their looks are great.
