Not necessarily. The minimum curve, into the yard, on our layout, was 072. I've also read that some 3-Rail 3RS modelers have tighter curves, and still use body mounted Kadee couplers. Since I was modeling in the late 1940s thru mid 1950s "steam era", my longest freight car was a few 50 footers, while all the passenger cars were scale 21".
As for the trucks, my experience is only with Lionel and K-Line and you would have to use a rotary saw to cut off the shanks unfortunately
Since they are die cast, I never used a "rotary saw", but simply broke the unneeded parts off the truck with good sets of pliers.
