Yes, I model traction. I actually have pieces of Pikemaster curves. If it can traverse a Pikemaster curve, it can traverse anything.
I also test with a Pikemaster S Curve. This done with single units unless I am testing radial or truck-mounted couplers. With radials I ran a three car North Shore set. The speed is fairly slow, I guess. I don't think I have only gone around a real streetcar corner faster than about 20 mph. That two-truck streetcar really hugged the rails.
