Here’s my current 3RS project almost completed. MTH ACL GP35. Waiting on the safety stripes for the pilot and the new mu hose assemblies from PSC. But here it is so far with a few in progress pics.
What radius will this take with the fixed pilots? ACL/SAL/SCL are my roads as well, and looking to convert some Atlas power the same way.

The smaller 4-axle units will negotiate 0-54 curves that I have in some of my industry sidings with no issues. I personally keep everything mainline a minimum of 0-72 and have had no issues even with an SD50 set up this way, and I run everything up to autorack cars. I find that cutting the Kadee box sides back 1/16” will allow a considerable amount more swing if necessary.
