To me, in HO scale it's usually couplers and sometimes wheel flanges. Sometimes there's too much "daylight" under steamers, particularly around leading/trailing trucks. It's also tricky to get stainless steel right - only effective way I've seen of doing this involved the "Alclad" paint - anyone else remember the Budd RDCs in MR a while ago? They were repainted Kato N scale models, on these, the only way I was able to spot they were a model was the wheel flanges being deeper than the real thing - when that's all you notice, it's a good model!
