Wheels and the Oil Tanker

I realized today I made a mistake on the wheels of the CS passenger. When I started a new file, using the wheels and basic lines as a template, I saw the distance between the inner "rails" to be NOT 4' 8.5".

These guys make and repair wheels axles trucks etc.

These guys make rail tank cars. They have diagrams in pdf form.

Lest I forget.
Getting the dome ends on the oil tanker turned out to be a major pain....
Eventually I solved it by using NURBS spheres in blender, creating circles and importing them into blender, whereupon I used RAW NUMBERS, not snap points, to solve it.

I don't like the 12'7" height the drawing asks for....

Not sure.
