If Lionel won't come out with scale drivers, a person could always do what 
HOer's did in the past with Rivarossi flanges. Turn the loco over, run it at 
medium speed and carefully use a mill file, checking with your NASG gauge as 
you go.

Interesting idea.  I looked at the highrail wheels that came with my U33C 
and the flange was very close to what we call scale.  Not much turning would 
be required.  But the wheel-to-wheel measurement (check-gauge)  was way off, 
too close.

And if I were turning down wheel flanges, I think I'd try to get the 
wheelsets out of the truck somehow to keep the filings out of the gears.
