18" curves are sharp for recent passenger cars, and some of them might not run on them without reworking of the couplers or underbody. 18" curves will also have a large amount of overhang, so you' ll need to measure that and adjust to the required amount. #4 switches could be used in the yard, but if you want to get more prototypical looking and have smoother operation, I would go to a #6 turnout.
