Traction tyres for MINITRIX locomotives, non-original

We offer precise and high quality traction tyres for model trains of scales G/OO/HO/TT/N.

The production of our traction tyres has undergone several years of development and the products are made from a special rubber compound that we have custom made.

traction tyres made from this material are flexible, resistant to all common liquids and especially oils. They do not lose their elasticity and functional properties even in long-term use.

In normal use they will serve you for many years on the model, in case of suitable storage you can count on a lifetime of 10 years or more.

INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS:
In these four instructional videos you will see how to use tweezers or a pencil to put a traction tyre on a smaller or larger diameter locomotive wheel

and changing traction tyres directly on the locomotive

If you can't find a suitable replacement for your model or if it is not available, please contact us and we will always find a solution.

If the replacement we recommend does not match your requirements, we can usually find another alternative.

When fitting model locomotives with tyres, you can experiment with different thicknesses of rubber etc. It is important that the traction tyres fills the wheel groove as much as possible and extends slightly over the side edge of the groove so that the wheel only occupies the rubber area when in contact with the rail.

A suitable traction tyres can be selected from the following summaries:

- locomotive type and manufacturer
- the catalogue number of the locomotive (if given)
- the catalogue number of the traction tyre
- table of types produced (by measuring the locomotive wheel)

All the lists can be found below, including instructions on how to select the appropriate traction tyre by measurement, an instructional video and photos of the traction tyres replacement procedure
