Both the FED and Balboa 2-6-0's are going to accept sharper curves than a 18 radius. FED also made that same loco in narrow gauge, but I don't know how much sharper a curve it would accept. If I remember correctly the FED engine may have blind center drivers, which would allow for much sharper turning abilities. The only advantage with going with maybe a C&S 2-6-0 is that it is a slightly smaller engine than the above two and likely can handle even sharper radius curves. <br /> <br />Since you already own the FED loco I would probably work with it, maybe do some slight modifications to clearances to get the desired results. Of course anything in an 0-4-0 like you have will handle about as tight a curve as is possible with a locomotive.
