tkx about the tip but is the bike air chamber gonna strech that much in hot water, my road wheel are about 4,5" in diameter. I might cast also the rubber on the wheel, if everything else fail....

 not surre if it's something easily found, but what about black rubber bands and slipping them over the wheel? it'll save on wear and give a slight cousion, won't it? you might even be able to find black rubber bumber for pinball machines, they are a bit thicker

got a question regarding ground wheels, is aluminum wheels gonna be a problem on stainless steel tracks? I intend to cast them to get a realistic look. I was a bit afraid of wear problem, track grinding the wheels...

Absolutely wonderful work Derek.  Will you harden the wooden wheels somehow? soak them in some kind of epoxy or resin? have you thought of using material other than wood for the ground wheels? like aluminium or something?
