Hi guys --
I am joining Tom in not voting, but not for the same reasons. In my case,
I can and do run code 88 wheels, but I have literally hundreds of pieces of
rolling stock that would have to be changed out to make them all the same,
and I am NOT going to do that. I don’t have a single locomotive with code
88 wheels and being mostly brass steamers, I am NOT going to change that,
either. I DO run my trains, and at two feet away running a scale 30 mph,
you will never notice the width of the wheels, particularly with 65 year old
eyes.
Were I starting from scratch in scale S, and were the steam locos available
with code 88 wheels, then I would go for the code 88 profile. I will let
you modern era guys fight it out on the poll...
Happy New Year!

-----------------------------------
We have opened a poll to see which code wheels would be purchased . . . . .
With only the choices of 088 and 110.
-----------------------------------------
You know people who use code 88 have to be very careful of their trackwork.
Of course, the narrower the more realistic, but it's a trade-off with
reliable operation.
I'm not going to vote.
