I have an L shaped, 2 level layout but the the main track on the bottom is on a 13x4 which of course only lets me have 22" curves. I have yet to find a passenger car i can't run, if its amtrak and plastic, i have it (im not into brass), derailments are very very rare, usually due to someone bumping the table hard. I can get my 10 car walthers superliner and 8 car walthers budds up to 75% throttle no problems, my horizons and amfleets work great to, and of course the kato business cars run fine and the bi-levels run fabulous at scale speed in reverse! Sure they don't look as good as they would on 40" turns but im happy to be able to run them so don't believe all these people that say 4x8 takes you out of the passenger world. If you don't care about a little over hang and you have 22" curves you can run most plastic passenger equiptment just fine. Mine are all stock out of the box BTW, though i did put the cinematic couplers on the kato cars.
