According to NMRA S-4.2: "Wheels, Standard Scale":
To my understanding this should mean that the H0 fine wheel is supported by wing rail at turnout crossing (at double flangeway).
According to S 3.2 and S 4.1:
This should be true:
2x Fmax(norm) Tmin(fine) + Bmin(fine) + Nmin(fine)Unfortunately there is no Tmin(fine) specified. From the above one could however conclude that:
Tmin(fine) = Gmax(norm) + Fmax(norm) - Bmin(fine) - Nmin(fine).
Tmin(fine) = 0.661" + 0.050" - 0.581" - 0.086"
This results to Tmin = 0.044"
Now Tmin(fine) should be about twice the Tmax(fine) 0.025" -- i.e. no go again!
If it is permissible to use RP25/86 or H0 (fine) wheels, why the standard wheel is specified as PR25/110 and why the "Standards gage" recejts RP25/86 wheels?
I must really be missing something -- what? Please advice!
