IHC Steamer Wheel Profile

Do the IHC steam locomotives have RP-25 contour wheels? Looking at the photos on their website, it looks like they’re the old Rivarossi deep-flanged wheels.

Only their latest offering - the 2-10-2 - has RP25 wheels. I haven’t seen one, but the advert says they do.

I have an older IHC 2-6-0 and the flange is definately larger, although they don’t seem to roll on the ties/sleepers like the Rivarossi’s do - and I have code 75 rail.

My new IHC 2-10-2 does have the RP25 wheels. I believe that this is the first locomotive that they have released that has the RP25 wheels. This locomotive is also DCC ready. Open the tender, drop in the decoder and take it to the programing track.

My 2-10-2 is from their new Command XXV Premier Gold Series
