ok <br />I bought a package of HO guage traction tires by Stewart <br />to replace the ones that popped off of my locomotives. <br />So here is the run down <br />HO scale Rivarrossi FEF-3 UP's <br />these tires seem awfully small and they don't seem to stretch <br />I have the instructions on how to remove the running gear and get at the wheel that the tire needs to go on. <br />My question is will these tires stretch to fit around an 80" driver on this locomotive? The tires from the package are about 1/2" diameter. I didnt think to ask the LHS if size mattered besides it was the only kind they had in the back and the package mentioned AHM on it which I know at one time was synonymous with Rivarrossi. <br />Before I get into this I just want to know if I made a big oopsie. <br />the Stewart part number is 510 <br />any help is appreciated. <br /> <br />thanks
