You need a Big Boy going around your layout. K line made one that can run on 031 curves  |

I have an MTH RailKing Imperial that runs on 031 and it does hang over in a ridiculous way, but I don't care, still very fun to run.

I get tired of the- it will have too much overhang, you need bigger curves. I don't have the room for bigger curves, but I love big steam. Funny thing is, I have not had one person make a comment about the overhang when the challenger or 2-8-8-2 are running on the Christmas layout. Of course on the O scale forum that will not be named one a**hat made the comment, "If you don't have room for big curves, you shouldn't even have one of these locomotives. It doesn't look realistic". So I posted a picture of the real Big Boy on a curve and one like his on an O72 and told him- if that was his standard, he needed to get rid of his locomotives as they look like a toy on an O72 curve. Hmm, he never replied. I'm with you Adam, I run what I like and screw the rivet counters. Had too much of that attitude in N scale.
