HO Scale Model Train Layout - Santa Fe in Texas

Went over to my parents' house to shoot some video of my father's HO scale model train layout. He's modeling a Santa Fe branch line in Texas in the 1950's.

I have a Bachmann train.

The track is...

E-Z Track

HO 18"R 30 degrees.

Would the trains you have work on my track? (I just started collecting and I don't know if it would.

@TheAZJacob I think the sharpest curve on this layout is around 20" radius. Some of the longer passenger cars have problems with it, but everything else is okay. 18" radius is sharp, but you should be okay if you stick with short locomotives and freight cars.

@HyndmanHelper Like the ones in here right? Thanks for the help!

[HyndmanHelper]

@TheAZJacob Yep. 4-axle locomotives and 40-foot freight cars should be able to handle it. Also watch the train length, sharp curves don't like long trains.
