Exactly how small are those wheels?
I often find European freight equipment more interesting than American. This is an example - not a well car, but low-floor all the way. I've loved them ever since I first saw them in an 80s book on railroad history. We'll never see anything like it on this side of the Atlantic, because our clearances are larger.

Fan of late and early Conrail... also 40s-50s PRR, 70s ATSF, BN and SP, 70s-80s eastern CN, pre-merger-era UP, heavy electric operations in general, dieselized narrow gauge, era 3/4 DB and DR, EFVM and Brazilian railroads in general... too many to list!
