The rubber tires LGB installs on locos does seem resistant to oils and solvents that I have run through including steam oil and alcohol fuels. The LGB tires are available for several sizes of wheels. All one needs to keep them in place is to mill a small flat groove the size of the traction tire on a powered wheel. They markedly improve traction. Any one found a way to dissolve these LGB tires yet? (using common oils to the live steam group, not getting special toxins that melt anything!) ~Gary Lane Eugene, OR ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary Broeder" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Multiple recipients of sslivesteam" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, February 25, 2001 10:13 AM Subject: RE: Re: Wheels > > > > > >The traction tires I'm talking about would be like putting a rubber band on > >the wear surface of the wheel. > >Keep your steam up! > >Walt > > > I think oily rubber would be worse that stainless steel! > > > GaryB >
