John-
That challenger is looking really nice with those siver hubs. And I
really like your use of the cam piece inside the wheel - I think I may
have to do that myself. :)

Josh-
For your 2-10-0 you may want to try using inverted hammers as guides
as I did on my 2-6-6-6 Allegheny. The hammers keep the wheels on and
they go through switches and crosses. See

Allegheny.
