I’ve gotten a few questions re: the scale of this headlight..

Amazing work Dan...!

John, do you know what the minimum radius is on the elevated track at NEOLS? I have a 1" 4-8-4 chassis that I'd like to track test and I'm curious to see how sharp a curve it will be able to negotiate. Rob Gardner Rob, Sorry but I don’t know it off hand... I’m thinking it should be fine though..
