PROTO 2000 ALCO PA-1 minimum turning radius for good operation
Author: DocJohn

What is minimum turning radius for Proto 2000 ALCO PA-1?  Locomotive would be hooked to Stillwell coaches from Erie-Lackawanna Railroad Historical Society?

Thank you,

John

The published radius is probably 18 inches.  But I personaly would not use it on less than 24.

I've got an old one that I pull out and run around my layout from time to time. 
Min radius is 20"...No problems as long as the trackwork is good.

Thank you to both of you for your replies.  Going to try to keep it to 22" on sections of the layout where PA-1 will run.  I am designing and building as the orders of Atlas sectional track and turouts come in.  Working on Homasote table top so I can move thing around as needed.
