While I can't respond specifically to Art's question; at the
Southeastern Railway Museum we have A&WP 290, a "heavy" pacific. The
tribal knowledge is that her minimum radius is a 22 degree curve.

Subject: O5A minimum radius.
At the Colorado Railroad Museum we have O5A 5629. If we can we would
like to
move it to a new track further south. The widest curve thatI can lay up
to
the 5629 display track is a 25 degree curve. What is the minimum radius
curve in degrees that the O5As can negotiate? If we can't run this
engine
around a 25 degree curve we will lay in a storage track to the south of
the
engine and fill it with narrow gauge cars. We have removed the cars from
No
Name spur which blocked the firemans side view of the 5629 for over 30
years. It looks quite impressive from the main museum building. Thanks
for
your help. Art Mitchell CRRM asst Roadmaster.
