Not quite same size/weight

Perhaps the wrong wheel was replicated.
Scott Hall's version used plywood for the wheels and had a narrower track than Doug Furr's example. Doug's is much wider. He also used solid wood. I am not a wood expert, but my hunch is 3/4 in. plywood would be lighter than the solid wood Doug used.
This means less rolling mass. I have experimented with gravity engines. The flywheel effect hinders rotation.
Mod's I'd love to try to Doug's version: narrow the track and replace the wooden dowel weights with solid metal rods--like rebar.
