He did say those at the Chinese factory just didn't seem to get the nuances of gauge and the wheels didn't pass muster when traversing the track so all the wheels/wheelsets had to be redone after they were ALL delivered and ready for the P.E. sets.
Nuances? Really?
Gauging wheelsets isn't rocket science.
And the Flyer minimum curve of S-20 is just shy of the equivalent of O-42 O gauge track, of which the past runs of the passenger cars run just fine on, including through SHS's S-Trax turnouts.
