Most hobby shops carry the rubber (plastic) replacement tires along with the installation tool required. Take your engine with you for reference. They can also order the special grooved wheel set. When you clean track, if you use a liquid cleaner, you will find the plastic tires will begin to disentigrate, so buy a bunch of tires. You are the FIRST person I have ever heard of that actually WANTED these things, we all get rid of them as soon as we get an engine with them. Strange. The real railroads double head (add engines) when faced with this grade problem. If at all possible, gently raise your lower end of this grade a few feet to make the grade more gradual, and you may not have to fool with the tires.
