Blind drivers (no flanges) were commonplace on the PRR, and far less in favor on other roads after about 1910. Most models get blind drivers to navigate sharp corners, and since our flanges usually are quite large, they stand out like sore thumbs.
So on my railroad there are no blind drivers. Early Scale Craft models come in with blind center drivers and they quickly get new iron tires pressed on the old driver centers. Even my PRR H10 fleet has no blind drivers, except for one ancient Saginaw, which I have yet to address.
