Will the 1.5 inch long booster couple correctly with my existing 1/87 scale rolling stock?

Yes, the booster is built to 1/87 HO scale so it matches the couplers and profile of standard HO rolling stock.

How can I verify the wheel sets are correctly fitted after assembly?

Each wheel measures approximately 0.5 inches in diameter; confirm all four wheel sets rotate freely and sit flush on the track.
