The problem is, with these cars, GGD cars, or any other long passenger car is you HAVE TO have a big gap between the cars, even for 072 curves because the outsides of the cars hit each in the curves. This cause them to bind up and derail. There just isn't a way to body mount Kadees, close the gap, AND keep he cars on the track. They have to have a decent gap.
That's why after I did my GGD Daylight set, 3 different times, I stopped converting passenger cars. It just wasn't worth the time and hassle for me.
With the cars this close, it was a NO GO through the curves.
Agree 100%. I run 096 and if too close on curves, bad things happen.
