Model Forum / General / Railroads / September 2008IHC locos on Walthers turntable
I am buying a Walthers turntable which has code 83 track on it's bridge,all of my layout is code100 track ,I intend to use transitional track connected to a Peco code100 turnout on the lead rail to the turn table,it will be a straight run with no further turnouts involved, will I have a problem with my IHC steam locos on the code 83 track? Thanking you redlegs60 > I am buying a Walthers turntable which has code 83 track on it's bridge,all > of my layout is code100 track ,I intend to use transitional track connected > to a Peco code100 turnout on the lead rail to the turn table,it will be a > straight run with no further turnouts involved, will I have a problem with my > IHC steam locos on the code 83 track? Thanking you redlegs60 Not with ones made within the last 20 years or so, all of which had wheels with 0.035" flanges, which run fine on code 83 track. Some of the very early imports had European flanges 0.045" or larger.

I'm waiting for something more useful, like the 2-6-0, to be issued with RP25(ish) wheels so I can kitbash three or four into something the GER could find really use. -- Cheers Roger T.

I compared the ihc flange size to flanges on an old lima loco ,ihc flanges are a lot smaller. redlegs >> I am buying a Walthers turntable which has code 83 track on it's bridge,all >> of my layout is code100 track ,I intend to use transitional track connected [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >HTH >Wolf re. my reply to your answer on code 83 and ihc locos,I tested my locos on a length of peco code 83 flex track and there were no problems whatsoever.Thanking you,redlegs60 |
