Compatibility & Fitting
Different variants are not interchangeable. Check the correct part number, wheel diameter and groove profile for your locomotive before ordering. Remove the old tyre carefully, clean the wheel groove, and seat the new tyre evenly without twisting or overstretching it. Test the locomotive at low speed after fitting.
HobbyTrax Expert Tip
Replace both traction tyres on an axle or matched driving wheels together where appropriate. Keep oil away from traction tyres and wheel treads, as contamination can reduce grip.
