Has anyone developed a list of prototypical wheel sizes used on freight cars and if so, would they be willing to share this information? I've been unable to locate a source that will tell me what size wheel is used on a specific type car. I'm wanting to convert my rolling stock to metal wheels and I've discovered many discrepancies between manufacturers regarding the size of wheels they supply. An example - Manufacturer "A" supplied 28" wheels for a 100 ton Center Flow hopper, Manufacturer "W" supplied 33" wheels, I'm pretty sure the prototype has 36" wheels. Any help you more advanced modelers can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
