Ted S posted:Maybe a little off-topic. But what's the minimum curve for the 1-700E (18005)? And what's the minimum curve for the prewar 763E? As I understand it that one is like a 700E, but with wider wheel treads and the middle drive wheels are blind (un-flanged.) Thanks!
The 1-700e has a minimum curve of 042 because, as you said, both the middle drivers and tender wheels are blinde. One variation of the original 700e was made similar to the 1-700e so that it could run on tubular track. For the 763e, I do not remember.
