SD70ACe Scale wheels | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

I bought an sd70ace from lionel that I was told by the dealer it would work on my original AF track. When it came in it has scale wheels on it. I have an American models E8 that has AF wheels that the flanges are about the same as the sd70 that works fine on my track. Has anybody had luck running Lionel scale wheels on original AF track.

If the flanges are similar to AM hirail flanges, it sound like you've got regular Flyer wheels installed.

Here's what the scale SD70 wheels look like. Very shiny with small flanges:

And here's the hirail/Flyer wheels. Dull with large flanges:

I can vouch for scale wheels running just fine on scale code 100 track, but can't vouch for scale wheels on traditional Flyer track.
