Hey Dean-
Take another looksee at the car you are modeling. The trucks are not as close
to the ends of the car as you have them. If you mount your trucks closer to
the center, I think you'll find tight curves manageable (although ungainly
looking). You just need stick your coupler onto an arm which sticks out far
enough to couple to the next car. Forget about the buffers; use the gray 2x3
rounded plate with hole.
HTH,
John
