Well, I ran this loco and its 3 coaches round the 18" circle under the Christmas tree. The coaches just barely make it - almost touch at the inside corners. The loco has no trouble at all, and runs very smoothly indeed.
Now, what exactly is wrong with this loco? Apart from the 16.5mm gauge, that is. No complaints about the paintjob, etc - it is a fictitious loco after all!
