Can anyone tell me what kind of size the turning circle of mamod and wilesco rollers/traction engines have? I'm keen to add a mobile to my collection but don't have a lot of room for letting a mobile loose. I'd get in trouble if I crashed into the flowerbed

My TE1a can turn on a dime (almost literally), but seems to like aywhere from a 10' - 20' diameter circle to chug around.

As for the new (to me) SR1, well, I haven't tried it on the ground yet - the wheels and rollers are just pristine (Thanks again John) and I don't want to be the first to scuff them up... but I'm sure I will...
