What wheel profile is being used? Is it standard RR profile or the A-3-1/2 profile that TMER&L used?

The tires are ordered with a full profile AAR flange on a four inch tread. The tires will be installed with the standard back to back distance. These decisions were made to provide reliable operation on our museum trackage with the wide diversity of equipment we use. Perhaps not 100% original to TM but less of a compromise than say, putting full profile wheels on CSL equipment. Bob Kutella
