Even with your 30" mininmum radius you will have to watch centerline distances on double tracked curves. I've got an old Rivarossi Challenger that has quite a big overhang on a curve both at the front of the boiler and at the cab. I have a 24" minimum radius but have to run the challenger on the outside 26.5" radius. I have a 30' minimum radius helix and the challenger will clip longer equipment if ran on the inside track. This track is also spaced on 2.5" centers. Tunnel portals, platforms, etc. placed near curves are also places to watch out. BTW for my money I would have to look at LL P2K's articulated steamer. I think it can now be had with sound.
