(...) I'm thinking 4460 uses steel rimmed (powered) and 4450 uses plastic rimmed (unpowered) with the motor unit in the tender. That looks like a glint of steel on the tender wheels. That's good news because it means we get a new size wheel for (...) (25 years ago, 31-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains) !

Maybe we're spending too much time on the quality of the graphics. Lets look at the sets themselves. Where would those wheels on the 4460 and the gray wheels on the 4432.
