John, Ya know after looking at the photos of the wheel sets, from the side and three feet away they pretty much look the same. But gettin close up like that on the trucks did show one truck with the insulated wheels on opposite sides.

Obviously there has to be some compromise with the layout... otherwise you'd have people out there running up and down real railroad tracks measuring the diameter of each individual piece of ballast! All may be lost on the layout, but it does not have to be on the models...

HOWEVER, (and I tried to keep my hands off the keyboard, but they wouldn’t stay in my pockets any longer) unless you also go to prototypical curves, all is lost. Nothing takes away the look of reality more than seeing big trains running on trolley curves. You might as well be running Lionel O-27... (Ouch!) Merry and Happy!

The only difference that is actually mandatory is building the track to the corresponding specs. . ..DaveBranum ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
