Hello & Welcome to the Forum!

lt is best to follow the minimum curve specified by the locomotive manufacturer.  You can run you train on larger curves with no problem..
In reality, you can run your locomotive on smaller curves, BUT you will experience binding on the curve resulting in excessive wheel and track wear.

Happy Rails!
