I came out of HO to Sn3 to S standard scale when I saw a PRS ad.  Can hi-rail 
wheels be adapted to any scale car?  I would think so, as I pull out flyer 
wheels on SHS and replace them in the same trucks with scale.  Perhaps the 
current day problem, due to China, is a source of trucks.  If a scale car was 
produced without trucks would hi-railers buy the trucks seperately?  Just 
curious.  If this is the case then you wouldn't need adapter bolsters like Ace 
would you?
