Some will, but it will not look good, nor will it run particularly good. Bachmann recommends a minimum radius of 22 inches for this loco.

I have code 83 track and some 18"R on my layout.  My 2-6-6-2 runs fine, probably one of my best runners, but as ACY said it doesn't look too great as the cab swings way out.
