Hello All,

I just got back from the Train Meet in York today and we purchased a MTH Southern Cresent E-3 and I found some Williams 72 Streamlined Passenger Cars that I thought would match it perfectly!  One problem, I have two pieces of O-31 curves because of the shape of our layout, the rest are O-42 and O-54.  The cars are rated for O-42 but I was wondering if anyone knew if there would be and wiggle room for those passenger cars and if they could make it on O-31?

Thanks,

Landon Eshbach

Hi Landon Eshbach, You may want to keep an eye on the trucks, underneath, where they may have their wheels rubbing and wearing away at the insulation on the wires leading into the coach for the lights. I had two wear right through, causing a short. So I removed that consist from my small radius loop.

I just ran upstairs to my layout to see if they work to answer your question.  Unfortunately, I don't have building clearance for a full test.  I was able to get one car fully on the curve, and one partially.  The one fully on seemed ok, but it was tight.  I don't know how a full consist will track.  Here are some pics:
