MTH C&O M-1 Turbine.......Which traction tires???

Get the MYH traction tire list on the mth website and then just google the part numbers. I have been gettting mine from a guy on the big eBay site from trains in the attic. They are a really good quality. Good luck. I save the MTH traction tire list on my desktop so I can just pull it up when I forget what tires I need.

Standard diesel tires, DE-0000018

Or you can wait for a guy like gun runner John to post the part number!!! Lol that man is a great resource and keeps this hobby alive!! Thank you John.

I stumbled onto the chart on the web.....looks like DE-18.  Now the 'Attic' vendor is the only one I see right now. I'll check....thanks

Blind luck, I happen to have one on the workbench right now.

Thanks all.....I looked through my parts stash and found a bag of 4 tires. After 1.5 hours on the bench my M-1 has new tires!!

I did note that the battery hook up was mangled and no battery or BCR. I did not know she would run like this. Gonna get a new 9v clip and a BCR for her.

If you have problems with the pulling power of the M1, read through this old post.

Thanks Ken!

I bought the M-1 cheap and because the real loco  WAS to run on the C&O line that is near my house. But like the real unit....I fear it will be a show piece more than a runner and that's OK....it looks COOL!

I bought the PS/1 model because I wanted a display piece.  I may someday convert it to PS/3 so it will get some running time, it is a cool looking piece.
