Am I right in thinking that 1992 stock has smaller wheels than

All LU Rolling Stock now have the same sized wheels.


Not according to the rolling stock dimensions page at Tube Prune
( http://www.trainweb.org/tubeprune/Dimensions.htm )

That shows that 92 stock does indeed have the smallest wheel diameter of
700 mm.

The others a

95, 96: 770 mm
67, 72, 73, D: 788 mm
A, C: 915 mm
