Hi all,

I'm looking to purchase a Virgin HST, or something similar, and my layout has some curves with a radius or 371mm. Will such a train, 2 Drivers & 3 coaches, traverse these curves without locking up and de-railing.

Best Rgds,
Dave R

Almost certainly the answer is No they wont negotiate those very tight curves.
Radius of 371mm is radius 1 which is only suitable for very small locos such as 0-4-0 or 0-6-0
