Does anyone know the minimum operating track diameter for these locos? As I remember it was fairly tight, since both the front and rear drivers swiveled.

Even their PRR T1 will work on 042. Made by Ajin.
Yes, 042 is correct. Make a note, however. Do a test run checking for telephone poles and signals. The overhang is large. (from experience demonstrating locos on friend's layouts).

The ROW PRR T-1 is an articulated locomotive; however, the real one was not, so the ROW version looks odd in many ways (see missing tender skirting, too; drivers are under-sized).
This may not bother you.
I have a 2 - 3 ROW steamers; I like them. I even have one of those contortionist T-1's. Quite a feat, and a novelty. I got it at a good price.
My ROW 2-8-8-0 Bull Moose is sharp.

There was a lot of experimenting done on the tender skirting. Eliminating it gave the best results.
I have a RoW 2-8-8-0. Great Northern. Paint job is superb.

I have a 2-8-8-0 B & O, a real beauty and I had it upgraded with QSI sound at that time. Just a real nice killer model. It is a shame the firm went out of business as they were offering great products. If the F7 (?) fiasco hadn't taken place and they continued to stay in business, ROW would given Lionel and MTH a run for their money.
