   Hi Ed, Does anyone know if the new hopper will come with spinner caps on the 
roller bearing trucks like their O scale hoppers have? If so SHS axles will 
definitely not fit. NWSL should be able to provide wheel sets once the specs 
are known, I've bought NWSL replacement wheels for Lionel O scale cars. I've 
also pulled Lionel wheels off O scale cars and replaced them with other scale 
wheels that I had in my scrap box. It might also be possible to turn the S 
lionel wheels in a lathe if necessary. The cars should be nice enough to be 
worth the trouble but maybe too expensive for many to buy then 
modify?.....DaveBranum
