Thanks Paul, Tom and Don for your help. The question arose because I'm considering custom ordering some Black Beetle power trucks, and then picking them up when I visit Australia in March. Re-reading their ad I see I should have realized the stated specs separated the contour (RP25) from the width (110/88). Now I only have to decide if I want to go 110 or 88.

Jim: RP 25 is a Recommended Practice for wheel contour. In PR 25 there are several sizes of contours which Code 110 is listed. RP 25 has nothing to do with wheel diameter only with the tread contour. A code 88 wheel is almost perfect size for S scale contour. NWSL sells a 33" code 110 for S scale. I have a 26" dia code 88 wheel set for Sn3. So to answer your question: a code 110 will have the PR 25 contour. Its the same wheel.

Is one more prototypically-proportioned for S-scale? Any operational problems on running RP25 wheels that have been re-gauged to S?
