Fellow Flyer Fans.
I acquired a used Lionel Flyer UP Northern and when I got a chance to run it this evening it did not even make it through the first curve before wobbling wildly. On inspection I found both the traction tires 'rubber' had basically crytallized and left the remanants trackside. My first thought was disappoinment but no problem - just go online and order replacements. No Such Luck!! Lionel shows unavailable, though I didnot get a chance to call(too late this evening). So the questions are: 1. is anyone aware of someone/someplace who may still stock them, 2. has anyone successfully fashioned or found a viable substitute, 3. am I now an owner of a somewhat average display piece(it does not run well without those replacements)!! �� I would be most grateful for any suggestions or guidance!
Thank you for your attention,
