If we could get many new wheels I would wish for one that was very tall, but
if we could only get one, I would NOT want one that was at the tall end of
the range, I would want one that was more typically sized. Typical sizes did

Primary red is used by many more countries than just Germany. This month's
TRAINS(tm) relates how the PRC paints all of their steam (present tense,
they have a lot still active) with bright red drivers. So maroon is sharp,
yes but primary red meets a bigger need.
