Joe,Actually I have built switching layouts in N scale..I used MT couplers and magnets for uncoupling..I even did switching back in the 80s when I used the Rapido coupler..
As far as the Kato 2-8-2 that should run on 11 1/2" curves with no problem.The 4-6-4 will to.
BTW..Those are very smooth running locomotives.
BTW..The wee scale has a tenancy to become larger as you gain experience and the Horribly Oversize scale will look big and bulky.
