TRACTION TYRES TO FIT LIMA LOCOMOTIVES, OPTIONS OF MIXED, SMALL OR LARGE, YOU CHOOSE.

THESE GENERIC SYNTHETIC RUBBER REPLACEMENT TYRES, ARE WHAT I USE ON MY AGEING FLEET OF LOCOMOTIVES.

THE LARGE SIZE FIT THE CLASS 31, 37, 47, 59, 60, 66 & 87 THAT I HAVE. THE SMALLER SIZE FIT THE HST (125), DELTIC, CLASS 50, 73 & 156 DMU. OTHER CLASSES OF LOCOMOTIVES WITH THE SAME DIAMETER WHEELS WILL ALSO USE THESE. I HAVE ONLY LISTED THE LOCOMOTIVES THAT I HAVE FITTED WITH THEM. I AM SURE THERE WILL BE MANY MORE. THE WHEEL DIAMETERS IN THIS CASE ARE SMALL 11.3MM & LARGE 14.3MM.

THESE STRETCH INTO POSITION. THEN CHECK THEY ARE NOT TWISTED. RUN YOUR FINGER NAIL AROUND EACH EDGE OF THE TYRE, TO MAKE SURE IT IS SEATED IN THE GROOVED WHEEL PROPERLY. RUNNING ON THE TRACK WILL BED THE TYRES IN EVENLY.

PLEASE NOTE THESE ARE STRETCHED OVER THE WHEEL, THEN FLIPPED INTO THE CHANNEL TO FIT. MUCH LIKE A WASHER, THEY THEN SEAT JUST AS A RING SHAPE TYRE DOES, IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY WITH THIS PRINCIPLE, DO NOT PURCHASE. THE SIZES QUOTED ARE THE WHEEL SIZE, NOT THE ACTUAL TYRE SIZE, JUST TO CLEAR ANY CONFUSION!
