New Walthers Autoracks

Will an 89' Autorack car like the new ones that Walthers has just came out with, work on 22" radius curves, or do they need something bigger? I would like to add some of these cars to my fleet, but I only have 22" curves. Anyone with any help would be great! Thanks

They will negotiate 22" curves but the overhang will be extreme. There is a good possibilty that they will hit anything else on an adjacent track. Mine perform okay on 30"-plus curves with 2.5" spacing. Keep in mind that these cars in HO scale are over 13" long.All you can do is try one and see how it does.Good luck.
