    If you mean the equivalent to a RTR 2nd radius, i.e. about 18 inches, I would be very wary unless you are modelling something industrial. This curve on my layout is about that radius, and 4-coupled loco’s will traverse it, but no chance of coupling up on it unless you have sprung 3 links, which I mostly don’t. More importantly, in anything other than this kind of environment it will look wrong, and better realism, with track especially, is what sets EM apart from 00, in my view.
