I think this discussion is getting a bit long in the tooth but this should settle most of it. <http://nmra.org/standards/sandrp/pdf/RP-25%202009.07.pdf> Notice that the flange depth difference between code110 and code 88 is only .002; and the flange width difference is only .005. So that the BB with code 88 wheels should be apx .005" more than with code 110 wheels. TCC:}
