(This point has already been brought up by ROSCO at JLUG, but I’ll say it
again here.) The small BBB wheels would look good enough for
disels/elctrics, although they are designed to be used on steamers and do

I was wondering about that when I had that discussion with ROSCO. Neither of us
could think of such a proto, although I know plenty of electrics have the spoked
wheels. Care to share examples? Would be nice to see some spoke wheeled diesels.

without fully understanding what I’m talking about (at least at LUGNET) or I
could land into trouble LOL.
