Can anyone give me some good advice on which traction wheel covers would be best for the Rivorrossi Allegheny. Thanks John

Are you looking for a replacement for the stock plastic traction tire or an upgrade?
The following infor was obtained from J. Philip Walthers.
"Walthers has replacement traction tires available
which can be obtained through your dealer should the
need arise".

Walthers really doesn't want to get involed in the retail parts business if they can avoid it. This is the way I took their reply since they said" GO to your dealer for parts".
There is also an authorizied Riv repair shop that may be able to assist you.
Golf Manor Hobbies, Cincinnati Ohio, 513-351-3849
who also advertise in the dealer section of MR.
Happy railroading.

Charles, You're not going to believe this but I have been in that Hobby Shop more times than I can count.I live a couple of miles from there. I knew that they are an authorized Rivorossi repair depot. That's where I bought my Big Boy. I truly think I'm loosing my mind, spoke by spoke. I will go there as soon as I can. Thanks, John
