I don't have a dedicated MOW loco, though it's usually an Athearn SW7 in Amtrak livery with a short train of Walther's Amtrak hoppers and matching caboose - need to track down more hoppers as I've only got the one at the moment! <br /> <br />On the subject of traction tyres, I'd suggest that you find out what diameter the wheels are on the loco and then find a supply of traction tyres that are the same size - a more recent loco with identical-sized wheels for which spare traction tyres are available should be out there. Alternatively, if (like most traction-tyred locos I've encountered) it only has tyres on one side of each wheelset, you might be able to rewheel it using parts from a second-hand or non-runner loco of the same make and model. You'll need to add a little ballast to compensate for the loss of the tyres, but it should be ok.
