. . . . . . . . it seems that so much attention is paid to couplers and yet
we ignore the very foundation of a railroad car - the wheels!

Everything Raleigh said above is true, as far as I know, but what's even
more obvious in the difference between a real wheel scaled down to a 64th
and one of our wheels is the width. SHS's code 110 wheels are an
improvement in that aspect over our 125± wheels, if your trackwork is
precise enough, but even 110 is not really 1/64 real world. If we say a
real wheel's tire is about 6 inches wide, that would call for a "code 094"
wheel.
Getting back to the back of the wheel, let's wait and see what Mr King's
wheels, soon to be released, look like.
