Bill, Would your comment below remain true if the ONLY difference between these new code 88 wheels and the code 110 wheels was the wheel tread width? What I'm getting at is that if the wheel FLANGE remains the same size as the code 110, wouldn't that also help eliminate, or at least reduce the wheel drop at the frog's throat?
I understand that many frogs are not CAST and do not have an actual bottom for the flange to ride in, so in that case I guess there would be a drop of some degree... but even that depend on how tight the standards were that the frog was built to - a turnout built with a FAST TRACKS jig would probably not give the code 88 wheel much grief... nor would the ones from Railway Engineering.

Hi all -- If you have frogs with loose tolerances (large flangeways), the wheels will drop into the area ahead of the point of the frog (the throat).
