MTH Traction Tires

Arnold,

If you have the original boxes, they locos come with a spare set. Do you still have those?  When we have gotten a new loco, I take those tires and put them in a new Ziploc bag with the name of the locomotive and then put the tires in a baseball card box I use for various types of parts. 

Assuming no, the best thing to do would be to use the MTH website to find a MTH service center and call that store to see if they have them, or to call MTH directly.  Call after 12pm, don't email.  

I hope that helps.  (I have enjoyed your posts that focus on the fun of the hobby and not whining about something being broken.)

I believe the tires are currently $1/ea, I haven't bought any for a few months as I buy them in quantity when I order to save on shipping.

Thank you so much, Ray. I have the original boxes and already gone through my spare traction tires. I've had all my MTH steamers over 10 years, so I've gotten very good use out of those tires.

It's all about having fun, and since I joined this Forum in November, it has become an important part of the fun.

Thanks John for providing that information
