The more I think about this,,,, as a scale modler, I'm not going to use the tooling or materials used in that operating "G" scale coupler, nore am I going to use the extra material used in the larger Hi-rail wheels. (Less tooling and material = less expense,) But, I'm going to pay a $20.00 penalty for using a less expensive (less material) scale wheel? Heck, I'm even supplying the couplers.
