From: Alan Lambert Fort Worth, Texas Going back to the Lionel Flyer catalog, You will see that they list it available with scale wheels and trucks, but the pictures of all of the new hoppers seem to show high rail wheels unless the scale flange grew in size. That is where Ed is confused. Lionel also states that the cars are as close to 1/64th scale as possible, not 1/50th or other, and says nothing about the scale wheel size. Some one else go and read page 3 of the catalog. Alan Lambert
