John et al --

I have body-mounted Kadee 802 couplers on my AM heavyweight Pullmans.  I 
have operated them on curves as tight as 33" with no problems, and I 
think they would work on even tighter curves.

HOWEVER, in order to do this, you MUST utilize spiral easements between 
your tangents and your fixed-radius curves.  Otherwise the rear of the 
first car will pull the front of the second car off the track as the 
first car enters the curve.
