I would like to know if traction tires are available for a 2 10 2  Bachmann Spectrum engine :-\

Craig-

I don't think so. None show on the parts diagram on this board. You can still use a pair of traction tires but you'd have to find a suitable
replacement driver with the groove where the traction tire goes. That could be a tough item to find and it might not be possible to find
a match. I believe you could eventually gin something up but it would be a substantial project. Why not try something like Bullfrog Snot?
(I didn't make that up.) You can probably find it at your LHS or on line.

I hope not, I've two 2-10-2s on the way and really, really hope they do NOT have traction tires.  Nasty, useless things.
