I wouldn't go smaller than 22" given the length of the car & the way the coupler is mounted to the body.
I have these cars with 22" curves & have had no problem with them.
I had tried a similar cars on an 18" curve & it barely made it & it was barely creaping along.
As Nigel said, contact Athearn & ask them.
