I am thinking about purchasing an MTH Premier 4-6-6-4 and/or 4-8-8-4 for my layout.
The MTH specs say it needs O-72 curves.
Does anybody have any experience as to whether these engines could negotiate O-60 fastrack?
I can't expand to O-72, so if this is not an option, then I may look at RK Imperial versions.
Thanks.

THEy need 072 and will operate on that track, however the overhang on the 072 is a bit much and you need to cognizant about side swiping trains on an adjacent track.
If you cant go with the 072 track or larger than go with the RK versions, the operation and performance are the same
Thanks for confirming.
I have an MTH Zephyr that says O-72 is required.
It gets around O-60 OK, but the overhang is awkward looking.
Wish I had space to lay some O-84.
Those scale 4-6-6-4 and 4-8-8-4 engines are beautiful to watch.
