Mine (#461) is 5.75" wide over the cylinders as well as the width of the pilot beam. The shades on the cab are a bit wider at just a hair under 6". The stack is the tallest piece at 7.875". It's possible that other road numbers vary from this, since the cylinders are different on the other road numbers.
Accucraft claims 30" minimum radius. I've run mine on 48" radius and it works fine. The two center driving axles have blind flange drivers. The tender drawbar has alternate holes for the connection to spread the distance between loco and tender on tight radii. See http://www.accucraft.com/pg-87140.htm for their web page on the K-27 live steam. It's not linked to any of their other pages =================== "Daniel R.
