Made this topic sticky since this question is probably the most frequently asked on this forum (after all the one-and-done "how much is this worth?" stuff)
ALSO CHECK THE FOLLOWING LINK FOR FURTHER INFO / DISCUSSION:
Either the Sticky Topic was doing its job, OR the question simply hasn't been asked in anyone's mind signing up here. But there's no way to know which one!
So, in the interest of decluttering the "Recent Topics" view, I'm making this un-sticky again....
...we'll see how long it takes for the question to be asked. If too soon or too frequently, I'll make it sticky once more.

I bought some tires from a guy on ebay about $4 total. He still sells them I have not tried them but could manyana. I've only had them since the end of "08. They look as good in size as the Goodies scrunchies that a bunch of us have been using. They are round and not flat. I have even been able to use them on my braces since dental elastics don't fair well on the rails. Alco Fan

Would you believe that my first B&O #283 F7 still has it's original traction tires? I bought it at a Logan Valley Mall hobby shop for $5 w/o box in '69 or '70. It's still in mint condition and has not had the tires replaced. Alco Fan
