Hi Bernie,

Yes, I should have mentioned your excellent patternmaking! My apologies. I'm not sure I have a clear photo of the spoked wheels of the Model T railcar but I did find this view from back in 2017 of the pilot truck wheelset for No. 11 along with the engine's then newly rolled boiler barrel.
