Trackless Train

Would some sort of steering mechanism for the cars be better than none?
Something like the old Radio Flyer wagon design.

Yes, especially if you need to make a tight turn.
The design of double & triple semi-trailers would be a good one to copy.

Are you talking about nursery tracking wagons? If that's what you are looking for, there are several videos on youtube on the subject that may help.

I have seen these little barrel trains make very tight circles, and little side tracking in there corners,

After checking out the videos on YouTube, I think you're right the nursery tracking wagons would be just the ticket.Thanks!
