As for your 18" radius on your layout, many short line locomotives had blind drivers. On your 4-6-0 this would be the second driver set, it has no rim to hold it against the rail, so if the radius is short the lococmotive will still make it without much trouble. I have a 2-8-0 and I filed down the seconf and third driver set to give the locomotive easier access to my shorter radius's on my layout and it helped on other fellows layout without derailing on the shorter radius curves.
