Graham Radish Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 (edited) Hello Is it possible to run a rolling road on a curve? I just bought the dcc concepts 4 axle set for n gauge i would like to know so then i can test my locos ability on tighter corners cheers.

dasatcopthorne Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I don't see why not. If the loco being tested will go round the curve it should sit on the rollers. Dave 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Reichert Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 As a dissatisfied owner of DCC Concepts Rolling Road, I can assure you that the gauge the rollers are set to has nothing to do with the gauge stamped on them. For the 16.5 mm stamped spacers, I've measured it as far less. So tyou cannot be sure of a meaningful relationship between your loco minimum radius on track and your minimum radius on the rollers.

Andy Ok thanks for letting me know, i should imagine it would be pretty easy to make your own spacers with pieces of plastic or wood and make them magnetic.

corax67 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 This question intrigued me so I’ve just popped 6 onto an OO gauge 3rd radius peco curve and a Bachmann 37 atop them - works like a dream Don’t have any N gauge currently but I would imagine it will perform the same Karl 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
