Unfortunatley, while I like what Lionel is doing for the Flyer line, I have little confidence in the catalog descriptions as to wheels and couplers. The catalog illustrations are of little help because they're still O Gauge cars Photoshopped for S.
And things have changed on the U33C's and Challengers between cataloging and product delivery.
I know, I know... "Verify product descriptions on the box..." Those have been known to be in error, also.
I'm waiting for once the cylindrical hoppers come out to see how they're equipped and how easy they'll be to "scalify."
