8 coupled steam is going to be problematic on 15" curves, six-coupled steam should be OK as long as there's enough distance between the tender and the locomotive. As long as it's small steam (No Pacifics or Hudsons). Generally, you should be looking at 2 wheel leading trucks or none at all, or extremely small loco's, so 2-4-0's, 4-4-0's, 0-4-0's, 0-6-0's and 2-6-0's should be OK, while 4-4-2's, 2-6-2's and 4-6-0's may work. 0-8-0's might work, as well as the smallest 2-8-0's, but I wouldn't bet on it. <br /> <br />Generally sub-18" radius is the domain of geared steam, short 4 axle diesels and traction.
