Proto 48 drivers/wheels/tires, etc. are great for S Scale. Not Flyer/tinplate or P:64, just regular S Scale. Same with turnout parts such as frogs, guard rails, and points. I didn't realize it until I looked at the NMRA specs.

I’ve only looked at the online catalogs so far and have only found a few that I thought would be likely candidates. Mostly it’s the size of the hub – probably too fussy on my part. Have you done much with them in S scale? Someone also warned me about the spoke size, too.

Bob Stevenson will machine, drill crank holes, and insulate them for a very reasonable charge. I finally heard from Slater’s. Their centers are nylon and don’t need to be insulated.

In the pix I'v attached, 0 scale on the left S scale on the right.
