Questions On 2-8-0 Radi

[Gunslinger_Fur]

I'm considering on purchasing a Bachmann 2-8-0 and have read that the minimum sugested radius is 8ft. But will the 2-8-0 perform well on smaller radi? I know that there is a limit to that but I'd still like to know, can anyone help?

The minimum radius is actually 4 feet -- 8 feet diameter.  Mine runs fine on 4' radius, but there is a lot of overhang on curves.
