I'm just concerned with the overhang around the 054 curves. My Premier GS4 Northern goes around 054 fine but has some overhang, the most at the rear. In some spots there is only about 1/8" max clearance between the back of the cab and rolling stock on an adjacent 072 curve. I'm curious if the 2900 class Northern has the same or more overhang. If it has more I'll probably rethink purchasing one. I could run it on my 072 loop but I prefer to purchase locomotives that won't be restricted to only certain sections of my layout. Below are pictures of the overhang my Premier GS4 Northern has on 054 curves.
