Running KATO Trains On Compact Line Tracks

[JJ1892]

Has anyone successfully ran non-compact trains on KATO compact line tracks ?

 

I need some sharp turns in my evolving layout and would like to double check that normal trains (non shinkansen) will not derail often. I do not mind slowing down towards those turns as long as I can keep a middle of the throttle speed. 

 

Will thank you for your thoughts,

Some will some won’t. This is a Kato KiHa 110 on 150mm radius track, (admittedly hand laid and gauged down to 7.1mm)

 

 

it definitely works but there’s a lot of overhang. 
 

There will be more issues the longer the train is - more friction in the bend for the loco to overcome, more chance of the car bodies striking their inner corners together and more chance of separating at the couplings and different couplings may behave differently. You’ll do better with Arnold style couplings as they generally allow more separation between  vehicles.
