Re: 4-8-8-4 Drivers or for that matter a 4-10-2 ....
BTW....
The 8x16 HO Scale Layout as seen in the picture above has at best 36 inch radius curves.
Yet, I bought with it on the very same day, an HO Scale Brass Cab Forward, manufactured around 1965,

Re: Drivers
Thanks for the information guys but I do not want to have traction tires on any loco on the layout, they do cause problems with keeping the track clean, and I my opinion somewhat stress out the drive

Re: Drivers
Just get some Bullfrog Snot. No need to replace drivers.
Our club is banning traction tires. They make the track dirty.

I have this model also. Only the fifth driver has traction tires; Otherwise it is the same as the first driver

Re: Drivers
Hi.
I may be way off base here but I am of the opinion that Rob wants to replace the drivers that have traction tires with ones that do not have traction tires.
