Well, that all depends. Many many many moons ago, I ran 80' cars on 9 3/4" radius. You first have to have truck mounted couplers. Then you have to make sure that there is enough clearance, because when those cars go around those tight curves, the middle and ends of those cars stick waaay out. <br /> <br />And you will only be able to run so many of them, because when a car hangs over that far, it doesn't take much to derail that car. <br /> <br />---jps
