Reply to "Lionel Berk Nickel Plate #779"

Smokie, Two things.  I too love that engine, the Lionel NKP Berk #779, and own one.  I use 3R Atlas track, and I could not keep it on the rails with anything less than 054.  Let me define "keep it on the rails":  While the engine stays upright, the drive wheels, that is, at least the four inside drivers, cannot tolerate the sharp 042 curve  radius, and slides a bit side-wise off the rails, giving the engine minimal traction.  BTW, whereabouts in TN?  I have a place in Unicoi, just outside of Erwin, the home of the Clinchfield.  More correctly, thanx to the CSX, it was the home of the Clinchfield.
