Just a little tidbit I thought to share. Being a woodrail pinball collector as well as toy trains I came across a bag of white rubber rings used on single posts on pinball playfields. Well guess what?! They are a perfect fit on the rim of the Tootsietoy Armored car.. so if your armored car isn't rolling too well and you want to put some shiny new white tires on it get some white pinball rubbers. If anyone needs to know where to turn for these drop me a line.

See the little single white posts in the middle of the playfield? Armored car tires!

Gotta Keep the Tanks rollin'!
