Just a comment on running on tighter curves.  Many years ago I had a Lionel Y6b that seemed to run on O54 just fine, but in time, it broke the ball joint inside that connects the motor to the forward drivers.  Just because there is enough "swing" doesn't mean other parts you can't see aren't getting stressed, particularly on articulated steamers.  That said, I know lots of guys run on smaller radius and seem to have no issues, just thought it was worth throwing out a caution.

I had never thought of that. Thank you for the warning!
