I have a BN 6 wheel drive that seems to come off in the corners. Is there any suggestions or what should I be using for corner tracks?

I have heard of 15" and a few others. Which is the mostly used?

I have no era in mind. In fact, I am using my Matchbox Car collection, and no particular layout.

Thank you.

I to have a series of 6 axal motive power. The smallest radius I found that they can negotiate reliably is through an 18 inch radiuse by them selves. So I reccomend such tight trackage in an engine terminal of sorts.

With a Train the tightest radius I reccomend is a 22 inch, this eliminated alot of engine overhang derailments I have been having.
