Thanks, Tyfude. Our indoor layout is about 130 feet long and the curve radii are all 11.5 feet or larger. The layout has been able to handle every loco (including Challenger and Big Boys) so far.
No, so far no record attempts have been made. As a well-to-do middle-aged male adult, I try to adhere to the applicable speed limits. I prefer to leave the record attempts to the specialists who are better at it. Duck and away.... The challenge with gauge 1 steam locomotives is to keep them running smoothly at speeds similar to the prototype.
Well done! 👍👍
Would you share the radius of the curves you have on the layout? Thanks. Gorgeous as always.

Has it broken any speed records yet?
