New American Flyer Berks and turnout sizes

Guys,  I'm still kinda new with S scale so this may be a stupid question.  I just received the new Lionel big book for 2018.  I see that the new American Flyer Berkshires take a minimum curve of S36.  BUT, I see they only have switches of R20 and R27.  American Models doesn't have any switches larger than 27" radius.  The same for MTH, if I remember correctly.   Sooooo, how do you get your engines to switch tracks?  I have run large engines in O scale thru smaller switches and they either just run thru very slow or bind or derail.  Again, Soooooo, does anyone make a larger switch, like an S36, for hi-rail wheels?

Thanks,  Rick
