I was absolutely determined to get the bogies in the new QR well wagons to protrude through the bodywork on ridiculously tight curves...

This is my one board "test track" used for new items of rolling stock. I used one of the new C38s with a number of well wagons with an assortment of loads. Because the original track wasn't "tight" enough I added two completely impossible reversing loops.

The first QR goes round the tightest part of the curve. You can just see the tyre and flange of the wheel nearest the camera sticking through.

Not a lot to see.

The next QR doesn't do any better.

Truth is it needs to be even tighter than this.
I declare that the myth that QR wagons cannot take sharp corners is well and truly busted! :hehe:
Sorry VicTrainz but I gave it my best shot.
Cheers
