[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by rexhea Railroading_Brit, Thanks for the tip. I didn't know that about traction tires. I'll take a look at the Bachman Spec.4-8-2 drivers and see if there's a coating. Can you sand the drivers and remove this or would it scratch them too bad?? [/quote] I think this would probably scratch them badly - I've not tried this approach as I didn't at first realise that this coating existed - I was puzzled why the loco had more haulage ability after a few hours running until I heard/saw someone else comment on this and say that they'd found this coating. I also had problems with out-of-gauge wheelsets and incorrect quartering on this loco, both might be worth checking out as a potential cause. Hope something here is of help!
