Hi George; The wheels are not a big problem; although they may require cutting out some of the underframe parts to allow them to run and swivel. If someone wants to use the AF compatible couplers like most current RTR S then the bolster needs to be more shallow than the prototype and maybe parts of the center sill as well, and any end detail that extends below the floor need to be left off.
As one example, the SHS USRA single sheathed boxcar center sill is too shallow by the same amount as the spacer pad provided for use with the sale wheels and couplers.
