I purchased this locomotive but now notice it needs a 8 ft or better turning circle. Bachmann does not appear to offer track with that radius.

Question one:  Where do I find curved track that has that circle (or radius)size?

Question two: Can the turning radius be any smaller that 8 ft circle? 

Question three: can the locomotive be modified to accommodate a smaller radius?

Thanks

I've been looking at these locomotives and cannot determine if they are AC or DC operation. How can you tell which they are and can large scale locomotives be switched from AC to DC or vs versa?

Also does DCC operation have to be used only on DC voltage?

Someone advise

Thanks
