He guys, just showing my latest Tyco engine. I rec'd it today and couldn't wait to see how nice it was....... well, cosmetically it is really nice, but she wouldn't run So after a spell with cleaning and oiling voila!!! She's of and running again.... but..... the traction tires peeled right off( I guess being dormant for most of its life doesn't help). Where's the best place to buy these early mu-2 tiny orings? I have a couple varieties from Stewart but their too wide.
Thanks
Greg

If they are just O-rings you could try a plumbing store and match them up with yours

There's a lengthy discussion about tires on here somewhere. Someone had success with o-rings from the hardware store. Most people avoid dental elastics....they can decay and become gooey.

All kidding aside, that loco design is one of my favorites. I've got the Athearn version and I run it all the time. I collect a lot of Santa Fe stuff.

YARDBIRD CLASSIC TRAINS sells the original rubber drive bands for this engine. You have what they call the MU motor if you didn't know.
