"Assume "No" 6 axle diesel or large steam engine will operate on 18"."
Hmmm...
I have HO Kato Unitrack.
Some of it is their 18.75" radius curved pieces.
I regularly run the following 6 axle and longer 4 axle units:
- Proto 2000 SD7/SD9
- Atlas SD35
- Bowser C628
- Bowser C430 (these are as long/longer than 6-axles)
- Proto 1000 RSC2
No problems. They all seem to run fine.
I DO have "long shank" couplers on some of them.
I'll agree that the modern "super large" 6-axles might pose problems.
But I wouldn't want any of those, anyway.
