	: Answer - The flange is only 1/16 inch taller then the normal [[IBLS Wheel Standard\|IBLS flange]] but the width of the flange is the same as IBLS. After two plus years of running these flanges on a number of railroads, we have found no undue damage caused. In fact they do less harm to the rail than IBLS flanges. In the case of the frogs that are .25 inch deep or less, the wheel rolls through on the flange and does not drop the wheel on the frog point. The only thing one might want to do is file away at the entrance and exit of the flange ways to add a 1/16 inch tapper. But we have not found that to be necessary. In the case of curves, the 1/8 inch filet moves the flange further away from the inside head of the rail making it harder for the wheel to pick and ~~clime~~ up and over the rail. The 15 degree tapper keeps the flange from making a three point contact on the inside edge of the outer rail on curves and reduces or eliminates the grinding off of the head of the rail. These are but some of the benefits we have found with this flange.		: Answer - The flange is only 1/16 inch taller then the normal [[IBLS Wheel Standard\|IBLS flange]] but the width of the flange is the same as IBLS.
