The size of the FLANGE is not as big of an issue for me as is the width of the TREAD (or tire) of the wheel. A wheel with a slightly, but noticeably smaller flange (larger than the flange on a P:64 wheel but smaller than a code 110 flange) and a narrower tread (wider than the tread on a P:64 wheel and narrower than a code 110 tread) would suit me just fine. If that scales out to be what most of us refer to as code 88, then I'm good with that.
And may the above go to show that I am NOT the perfectionist that so many think me to be.

Please contact us off list.

Maybe use the NMRA specs as a starting point.....?? Now we will probably have to deal with the Lionel wheelsets and MTH wheelsets in the near future. Nothing like a bit more variety. Praying for standardization....(but not holding my breath)....Ed L.
