P.s.: Another open train riddle:  in old booklets from the end-sixties

are lots of pictures which show spoked wheels with 12 spokes and with
corrugated running surface.

These came with 4.5 volt trains. I have 4 that go with a 4.5 volt train
motor.

Hi Bruce,

thanks for your reply, but I fear you misunderstood my question. I really want
you to count the spokes in your train wheels once again: are there 12 spokes?
(Or do you mean the old 60ies train wheels with 4 studs? - those have the
corrugated design of course).

All wheels I have ever seen in real life are smooth
and have 10 spokes.

These came with 12 volt trains. I have many of these.

Me too, but if you have a look into the 123 instructions: there are wheels with
12(!) spokes and with corugated running surface. All ever found wheels among
the AFOLs I know have a count of 10 spokes and smooth surface.

Leg Godt!

Ben
