It would appear that the couplers on the S2 just dont have enough swing to accomodate the fixed couplers running on the O36 track. You would think that for a small $ 900.00 set they could have installed some better couplers . Oh well
Can this be the same problem as Lionel’s Legacy reissue of K-Line’s 2-truck shay which did not have sufficient room/range for the coupler to operate on the advertised 0-36 or 0-31 curves? Lionel did not offer the extended range K-Line provided coupler guide bracket. I wish Lionel or someone would make that shay part.
Yep. I have that problem with the Shay. I wired a car to the loco coupler and it works fine after that. Still, with the S2 being a set, it should handle the curves stated in its specs 100% without tinkering. IMO.
