Converting EFE Tube Stock

With reference to the recent post on converting the LT tube models, the picture shows the before and after effect of just using easily obtainable drop-in P87 wheels (of the prototypically correct size) in the existing trailing bogies. If changing the gauge to P4's 18.83 mm, then narrower width of P87 wheels ( 0.064") will give an extra 0.032" of side clearance over using P4 width wheels ( usually 0.080"), without affecting the P4 running qualities.
