I experimented with that idea on the Budd 24" cars. What you have to do is , as you said & raise the trucks thereby improving on the lateral truck swing only. You could negate your lighting system as I did on the Budds. Then pu***he car by hand through the curve. If you succeed, then you have greater body lateral swing BUT when you start to couple the cars together you may not have lateral coupler swing. Perhaps a longer shank #26 KD coupler may help. If not, then there's merit to the Kadee #454 swing bracket (without coupler)@ $6.50 per pack for one car. http://www.kadee.com/htmbord/page113.htm Also make sure that your stock set couplers are the right height otherwise that will lead to another style coupler called over/under sets which come in extended shank length
