Thanks! I just wish LEGO would produce wheels that would be suitable for
making this a functional train. I know someone made "aftermarket" metal
rims that can snap onto this type of wheel, and I thought about getting
some. But I'm a purist, and anyway they aren't cheap. Also I don't think
they were available for the smaller diameter wheels.
