If you think it's a hoax you have to explain where the metal wheels on • 4460

are made of.  Maybe the hoaxer has access to metal or plastic molds (maybe • the
sand kind, but not permanant ones).

Naw.  Those are black model team wheel hubs - recently available in Bi-Wing
Baron (thanks LFB :-) and the Twisted Time Train - with chromed edges.  Ben
Fleskes has an engine using these wheels in grey and I've just negotiated
the acquisition of enough of these in black to keep me in steamer heaven for
quite a long time :-)

The poor picture quality hides the round cutouts (I think Lar referred to
wheels of this design as "boxpox" drivers) and the very deep flange.

What I see are CLEARLY spoked wheels with a single stud hub.
