Hope this post doesn't get posted twice.

I would like some advice from people who are familiar with real, life sized locomotives please. I am currently building a Rob Roy and wish to machine the stepped, tyre type feature into the inside of the front rim of each wheel. Please note that I will be adding a much heavier counterbalance weight after machining the step. I was wondering what the appropriate dimensions would be. My guess would be approximately 1" x 1" at life size. Does anybody know please?
