Emma Peel...hmmm...I remember my Great Grandmother talking about her

That train sure looks in great shape, too bad about the outer box missing but at least it has the inner form and that Meccano badge.
I can't (from the pictures) figure out how the wheels meet the rails. Do they ride atop the rail on the inside of the wheel hub, the outer diameter or on the bevel of those rails? I am wondering if you cleaned those metal wheels with a cotton bud and alcohol to get rid of any unseen greasy or oily residue and scrub the rails in warm soapy water and good rinse would make the train have better traction. Also, from the pictures, its hard to tell the size. Could you snap a picture next to a Plarail engine?
