With Cinco de Mayo one day away I figured it was time to bring this giant out of mothballs. My N de M Centipede been in hibernation for about 4 years. This Lionel version is a brute and has a lot of overhang on 072 curves. The N de M Railroad had 14 Centipedes and was acquired by Ferromex. Bill    |

It would run great on the club layout. The biggest curve is 0-96.

That engine looks like a "right of way cleaner"...lol! Anything sitting too close to the tracks gets an overhang boot, and swept AWAY!!
