The factory does not pre-install a decoder. What's the minimum curve radius?11 inch minimum. The locomotive does not run reliably on curves tighter than 11" due to its long wheelbase, so plan your layout accordingly. What does "Nose Flag" mean?It refers to the small American flag decal applied to the front nose of the locomotive — a patriotic detail Union Pacific has applied to portions of its modern fleet. This 5395 model is delivered with that nose flag detail factory-applied. Will it work on Code 55 track?Yes. Wheel profiles are designed for Code 55 and larger rail, so it will operate cleanly on Atlas Code 55, Peco Code 55, Kato UNITRACK Code 80, and similar mainline N track.
