I'll have to have at least an 8" radius for my Goose, Chris, so this'll handle that with ease. As for the speed, that's my only real concern, these little N scale lokeys aren't known for low speed operating.
The interior had to be painted and the widow glazing had to be installed before the the roof could be put on. The chimney and its guy wires had to be installed in the same manner---even more challenging---the chimney had to be installed at an angle to the roof stock to conform to the final curve. I guessed at it and won. Note also the new brake wheel, a brass casting from a box lot.
