9 3/4″ is the “train set” standard, but it is not suitable for larger locomotives. I have diesels with four wheel trucks that run fine on them, but even my little Bachmann 4-4-0 steam locos prefer a larger radius.

You can purchase these in packages of 6. There may be some larger locomotives ex: the big boy steam locomotive, that may not stay on the track at this radius. Tony P
