Reply to "Tapering Blind Tender Wheels on 3rd Rail Locomotive"

After some measurements with O72 curves and the limits of the wheel slop, I've decided to remove 1.25mm from the inside of the wheels an put a very slight chamfer on the inner edge of the wheel.  That still allows margin to prevent the wheels from falling off the rail in a turn in either direction and looks like it allows sufficient clearance for the switch rail.

I'm still going to fix my switches to eliminate this issue, but I have to fix this locomotive anyway.
