I was going to question this comment as one can not have 1" narrower gauge, but then realised that the middle pair of wheels could be flangeless and thus could be a narrower gauge, but that seems unusual as well as a flangeless wheel would have a wider tread anyway, they didn't want those suckers falling of the railhead!
