I've run Athearn Dash 9s and AC4400s on Hornby 3rd-radius curves - I think these are about 315mm radius, they're a little under 2ft radius anyway. The locos run fine - I know they'd look a lot better with gentler curves but unfortunately I don't have the space at the moment! <br /> <br />One thing about planning a shelf layout. Try to make sure that all headshunts and passing loops are long enough to accommodate your longest loco and car. The longest I had while constructing my layout was an SD40-2 and a Husky Stack, so I designed the headshunt tracks to be able to handle this. Unfortunately, I've since bought some superliners and a hicube box car, so I think I need to add a small extension!
