I have a K-Line scale Hudson #5343 and a Weaver Blue Goose #3460. Both are 4-6-4's. The Hudson has 2 traction tires, the Blue Goose has 4. I need to replace them. I measured the diameter of the wheels and it is 1 5/8" or approximately 41mm. If you have a K-Line scale Hudson does 1 5/8" seem right as far as the diameter?  I looked at MTH's traction tire chart (see below) and it is recommending DE0000031 (30.3mm) as the correct traction tire. This is my first time replacing them, does that seem correct?
