Charles, <br />I appreciate all of the information you've provided me concerning the wheel diameters to use. If I'm reading your answer correctly, if I put prototypical sizes on my cars, such as 36" on covered hoppers and 33" on box cars and others that require them, my couplers will now be out of spec with regards to distance from the railhead? Does this mean that the bolster heights on the cars is incorrect from the start? Makes me wonder why the NMRA has standards when the manufacturers don't want to follow them....... I guess it's back to the drawing board now. Thanks again, <br />Don - Austin, TX
