No. They claim it is, but with some locos it's definitely not recommended. I have one of their U Class 0-6-2s which managed to get its gearing out of mesh while following their claim (requiring the loco to be dismantled, adjusted, and reassembled - luckily no damage had occurred). I'm aware that it's a long 6-coupled wheelbase but I'd read the claim about R1 and believed it - when I get around to a fixed layout it will use much larger curves. Personally I wouldn't run anything larger than a Stainz or similar short 4-wheel loco on R1 curves for fear of damaging it. There's also one new model that might well hit their claim somewhat - the RhB 4-wheel baggage van. In stock form this gets jammed on R1 curves and leaves the loco with all wheels spinning (mine now has ball-bearing wheelsets and can handle R1 - did this as I wanted to add metal wheels and all I currently have is an R1 test circuit).
