so, I’ve picked through and sorted the collection of track, and the majority of it (and all the switches) are 0-27; so this is officially an 0-27 project.
My question is, what is the largest steam outline loco which will manage the curves? I’ve seen what appears to be a Big Boy on 0-27 on YouTube. I’m particularly interested in the 2-6-2, 2-8-4, 0-8-0 and 4-6-4 types?

That Big Boy you saw on 0-27 track was probably the K-Line version which is closer to S scale. It is a nice runner if you can find one.

The Lionel 2035 is a great postwar runner , mine from Christmas of 1949 still runs great.
