Be aware, however, that the photo shoes code 110 wheels in HO, not S.
In S scale, code 110 is noticeably closer to scale flange and tread dimensions, with, as many have demonstrated, excellent operating reliability. Of note: code 110 in S is closer to prototype than is code 88 in HO.

Now... try to picture an AF compatable coupler superimposed on that photo as well. Need a barf-bag yet?
