What is considered large diameter wheels? Some of the older PRCo high
floor equipment had larger wheels, probably 30-33 inches diameter.
What size are the wheels under M454? My roster doesn't give a size for
the 4000s and 4100s/
Interurban cars rarely went over 36-inch wheels - too large and they
would not work with the city street trackage. Probably many work cars
with 30" wheels and possibly but probably not 33-inch.
Interurban cars 3800-3814 had 28" wheels.
