If Modern 6 axle MTH scale wheel diesels will negotiate 36"r as they do, I would be surprised if these SD40-2's won't do the same. In HO the Scale Trains SD40-2s will negotiate a minimum of 18"r which would translate to 32.6"r scaled up to O scale. Maybe a medium shank coupler could be required, but I'm willing to bet they will run on 36"r. Scott doesn't usually do min radius testing for each model. Usually he gives a conservative estimate. That's been my experience.
