Need traction tire

Need traction tire for a MTH 30-1655-1 Southern, Mohawk Steam Engine 4-8-2 L3.  Have no idea what size to attempt to acquire.  Thanks.

Ever MTH steam locomotive model that I've ever purchased, had spare tires packed in a small plastic bag, in with the model someplace in the box. Have you tried looking in the original box?

You need DE-0000025.

Also, most any traction tire from any similar-drive-size-driver steamer of any brand will work. Usually. There can be occasional width/depth issues, but usually not.

These show up on eBay; usually over-priced. If the loco acts in no way strange or inhibited, leave the tire off. It won't hurt anything.

Thanks!

True that, but it would help if I marked the little pkgs when I took them out of the boxes.

I would put a small piece of masking tape on the package and write on it with a Sharpie.
