You sometimes find traction tires on N (maybe H0?) in Japanese models as well. I have a few, I think, though a lot of them don't any longer.
A week later, the dwarf was back as it was a rainy day. The doctor examined the dwarf for 3 minutes and said, I will have to operate right now." After 5 minutes, the doctor told the dwarf to walk around to see if the pain was gone. The dwarf walked around the office and said he was pain free.
When the dwarf asked what the doctor did, the doctor replied, " I cut the tops off your rubber boots."
Oh I forgot the little scales! My last HO engine that had them was a Chattanooga Choo Choo many years ago.
Remember the commercial on TV?
Every European locomotive I own except the Bemo narrow gauge locomotives and EMUs uses traction tires. That count is now at 25.
Every BLI and MTH and Bachmann steam engine had them, and I had an MTH HO scale SD70ACe with traction tires.

Nearly every modern steam engine and some modern diesels still have traction tires. I had a new SD70ACe with traction tires. It was a model for the European market.

That's a great Daughter. I haven't been there since they made a museum there. First time i was there was in 1988. We went to the top of CN Tower and pretty much all the tracks from the past were there, plus the whole engine house area with its track layout. Then in the 90s they were continually ripping the tracks out. It's great that they left the roundhouse.

In big-time matchup, can Max turn back the clock again for Toronto?
Max Scherzer brought vintage heat -- and intensity -- in a key spot in the ALCS. Toronto craves more of that in tonight's Game 3 (8 ET, FOX), but Dodgers counterpart Tyler Glasnow (0.68 ERA) has been as good as anyone in October.

Troy- That reminds me of the Irish dwarf who had a pain in his groin every time he walked in the rain. He went to the doctor, who checked him out and could not find anything wrong. The doctor told the dwarf to come back the next time it rained and he had the pain.

Think that's one of the sets I had way back when. What a piece of machinery!

I thought those BLI and MTH thingies were supposed be mostly metal and heavy.

Well howdy there internet peeps
It's Troy again.
3D Printing design success. I'm impressed it worked the first try:
Instead of closet rod, I'm thinking 1 inch dowel for the handles. Probably just a screw through the hole into the dowel.
Display topper board sits stable now.

“The customers” think a 2-8-0 should be able to pull a 100 car train by themselves.
The one I had in 1974 ran rough and bumpy.
