High rail flanges and scale flanges have very different profiles.  It may not be possible.  There have been model railroading machinists who have done similar work in the past but the only ones I know of either have passed on or don't do it any longer. I would pose this question about the drivers to NWSL as well.  I am not confident that you will end up with a proper operating loco with the possible exception of spending the big bucks and long waiting time to have NWSL remake all of the wheels to code 110.

All of this is why is why I come back to my recommendation for anyone that wants to run scale wheel equipment but also wants to run Flyonel Legacy steamers that they go with code 138 rail which is widely available in flex or sectional.  And go with FVM's hi-rail turnouts which can be modified to accommodate both types of wheels (although they are currently out of stock and being manufactured).

Your track is the MTH with the road bed and it looks scale. That is what I  want Chuck, can we talk later. I have a decision to make and I want your imput.
