0-54 3 rail min radius and I would buy

This is the sort perspective that brings a smile to those of us who've dabbled some/much of our model railroading lives in HO scale. An O-54 curve (diameter) in O3R parlance is equivalent to a 13.5" radius in HO.

An HO 2-10-4 navigating a 13.5" curve eek ?? Yeah........right. rolleyes

Lessee....take the flanges off the wheels on axles 1, 3, and 5, use a rubber band for an engine-tender drawbar, provide for trackside clearance of about 3+ inches.......Hmmmmmmmm......maybe so, maybe so.

Awkward.
