Having reread the thread, it appears to me that you've used the wheels
from e.g. 8868
http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?query=8868
These wheels are smaller than the ones from the Black Cat (5571) and
look much like the larger ones from 8860.
If you can get the wheels from 8860 (and 8865), though, these might be
an even better fit. These wheels are larger than the 5571 wheels. In
fact, they're almost exactly the same size as the 8880's wheels. I
think the diameter is approximately 10 studs.

Those ARE nice wheels but I feel that the tires are not tall enough in proportion to the wheel for this application, the wheel is 6 of those 10 studs, and the tires are only 2 each side (or so) If you look at the proto photos it appears that (...)
