Min radius for MDC Shay & Rivarossi Heisler?

I can get my MDC 2T shay around a 14" radius curve provided the pistons and driveshafts are to the outside of the curve. When they are on the inside of the curve they bind and derail the locomotive. You also need to be aware that the driveshafts will come apart if the curve is too tight and the shafts are to the outside of the curve. I gave up on the tight curves and now use 18" radius on track used by the shay. I have no knowledge of the heislers' requirements. <br /> <br />Tom
