Quick Casey posted:I know a lot of members have layout set in stone with 20 inch radius. Just wondering if this problem would be less severe with a wider curve. Logically, yes, but is this a weak point for the U33Cs?
Will the new run of U33Cs have the China Drive the other Legacy locomotives (SD70s, and the GEs) have?
Well, I've run my E-L U33C on SHS R20 with no issues.
The catalog states "powerful maintenance free motor" (singular.) While catalog descriptions can be sometimes a little off the mark, I seriously doubt Lionel would spend the resources re-engineering and retooling for the drive to dual motors (new frame, new truck blocks) on such a low volume product.
