    I just wanna clarify with everyone here that no one knows the traction tire size that go on a standard common, locomotive, a Bachman 4 4 0 American locomotive
    I went through whole N gauge traction tire website, even after reading all the information and trying my best I got the wrong ones so I just threw 8 bucks in the trash,what a waste
    My next step is going to be to have to call Bachman to actually try to get someone to answer this question and I'm sure it'll take half a day if I'm lucky.
    As a member of the O gauge forum for over 20 years for a standard everyday locomotive traction tire question, this would have been answered by about 8 people in no time at all.
    I'm just a little surprised that no one can answer that question,
    Because when I get done with this, what am I gonna be the only person on 2 N gauge forums that knows that traction tire size of this locomotive
    Everybody knows what's your favorite color caboose though,don't they?

    Well just got off the phone with Bachman after being on hold for an hour, and he wasn't able to come up with a diagram of the exact ones,
    The only thing he had was all steamers 8 millimeter, so that's gonna be another best guess,gambling another eight or 9 bucks.
