Traction Tires

[racedirector]

Hi Peeps

Just a question on where you get replacement traction tires for locos. Or do you use something not train related? My wife bought a couple of second hand locos for my sons layout and the traction tires were basically falling off. My LHS doesn;t have that sort of thing available....

Just wondering..

Cheers

Nice pic Dave, like a Santa Fe monster truck!

Bruce, depending on make, your dealer ought to be able to get them as spare parts, or another dealer who carries those makes of model.

VIRNEX makes them, and I believe WILLIAMS BROs.- may also produce replacement traction tires. They advertize in periodicals, are on the WWW and are distributed by Walthers in 'HO' and possibly other scales.

What make of loco's are we talking about here by the way?

Thanks people

pjb was right on, I found some on the Walthers site.

Oops, forgot that bit. It is a Bachmann loco.
