I have two branch lines that run off the main that have 15 in radius turns I run my bli mikes down these branches all the time without problems of derailment. Although they are allways running at slower speeds and there is no scenery to impead the overhang,as far as radius they will run on some pretty tight turns.Before switching to dcc spectrum 2-8-0 and lifelikes 0-8-0 along with athern sw 1500's were the loco's I used for running these lines.However if I was a little more informed when I first built my layout there would not be a curve anywhere with less than 28in and 30 in or better easements.I have two of bli's powerhouse series mikes and as I stated earlier they will track through some very tight turns,But i don't mean to say that they have never derailed in these turns.
