Hi all, What is the minimum radius for 4-4-0, 0-4-4T, 0-6-0, 2-8-0 locomotives ? and what is the minimum radius for the larger locomotives 9F 2-10-0's,...
Yet again on this elist, we have someone trashing a product that is used with success by thousands of modellers. I had 8 Fulgurex and 4 Lemaco motors on my P4...
I actually prefer Fulgurex to Tortoise. In facvt I have some Fulgurex motors over 10 years old and they still function perfectly - they've been stored in some...

Hi Felix, Tried sending a colour piccy of the Bulldog but it was undelivered again!. You should be able to get most of your S and D locos round 5ft curves. The...
We've had Fulgarex on our club's EM layout for over twenty years, no problem other that the odd spring in the switch vanishing. Gas Works has run happily for...
I use Tortoise motors out doors but mount them under the baseboards. When the track is not in use the pointwork is covered to stop rain etc getting down the...
Felix ... I dare say larger locos could be persuaded to go round curves of less than 6' radius, but they would increasingly ridiculous doing so. Go for the...
