I paced off one of the streetcar intersections in Toronto and the inside curve seemed to be about 50' radius up to the switchpoints. That's one of the reasons TTC is having problems ordering off-the-shelf streetcars.
I have a book that gives some minimum radii of locomotives. I remember numbers like 700-900' and that is travelling dead slow in the shops area. I also noted that articulateds had sharper curves than regular locos.

In model railroading, there are between six and two hundred ways of performing a given task.
Most modellers can get two of them to work.
