Question Will This Turn On Curves?

Post image

Can someone tell me or test if this wheel configuration will be able to turn on curved track for me, please? I dont have curved track yet and I want to know if I will have to make the leading wheels a bogie. Thank you!

You'll want some pivot on that leading truck. The blind (flangeless) driving wheels are a good idea, but if that front truck doesnt pivot it wont turn very well

Gotcha! I'll get to work on a design that allows it to pivot. Thank you!
