You and Heljan have done a fantastic job on this loco, I received mine (18100 Gas Turbine version) back in February after having it on pre order for I think it was 2 years but the wait was most definitely worth it, it was really a must have loco for me as I have purchased your 18000 which also I have had no issues with, onto my model of 18100 though it’s excellent, having it sat next to and running opposite my 18000 is great, the overall detail on the model is fantastic, one thing I really like, on mine is the representation of the grease on the buffers, performance on mine has also been excellent and haulage capabilities is again great, I now have a DCC controller so may look at getting mine sound fitted, overall a fantastic model from both Rails and Heljan.
@@railsofsheffield Thank you for that information. I only have a smallish layout albeit with 1st to 3rd radius curves so operation would be a bit limited. I had that experience with 18000 so I think I'll pass with this one.

What a beauty that is.
Samstrains take some notes
What is the minimum recommended radius for this please?
They perform best on 3rd radius but can run on 2nd radius. As you can see in the video we did put it through some very tight curves with no issues!
