Have you looked at Bronx Terminal.?
This is a model of a real site which had 40' boxcars running on 90'rad. I have also seen a utube of a virtual reality model of a large diesel loco negotiating a 180deg curve with a diameter less than the loco length. This is like articulated lorries turning
in the length of the trailer.
This layout looks interesting. Any more pictures.

Starting the Freight House build. That geometrical nightmare¡. Next up in the construction of the layout is a project I have been putting off for some time, the ¡°round¡± freight house.

Here's the progress on my '2x4' (actually '4x5' with the extension) O-RR: a folded dogbone with a couple of spurs and a switchback using K-Line/Lionel E-Z Streets.? Mock-ups of the now-abandoned Detroit-Superior Viaduct in Cleveland, a brewery and flour mill
are in place to check for clearances and finishing.? ?I found that--besides trolleys--a K-Line S-2 switcher will navigate the tight, 8-inch radius curves with standard freight cars, if run s-l-o-w-l-y, but that's to be expected anyhow on an industrial layout.?
Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving!
