I am thinking about ordering one or two Life Like SD60Ms in the BN paint scheme and I was wondering if anyone knows if these locomotives will navigate a 20" radius curve while cars are coupled? Will it derail the cars? MR recommended a 24" or larger, but they say that as a general good radius. They never really have increments between 18" and 24".
Thanks,

They could, but they might derail, and they would look like toys on those radiuses
Most 6 wheeled diesels will run on # 4 turnouts and 22" radii, but you might have to change the couplers to something longer - like #46 KD’s.
