Four axel loco’s will handle 16″ curves but six axel loco’s will have a problem in HO scale
A GP7 and GP9 will handle the 16 inch radii curves just fine. You can even run U30Bs on such curves.
what’s the scale? if it’s n scale no worries.
If it’s HO the loco will just make as long as you don’t pull to many rolling stock.
And you go slow.
They will probably handle it but will have a toy looking overhang. Make sure any scenery is far enough back so they don’t catch it with the handrails.
