RK "Bob" Hall had a set, told me to use a Safeway Grocery bag...not an Albertson's bag....wrap the wheel, extra wide, heat the tire, drop it on (I used a vise to keep the tire at the inner edge of the wheel), let it cool, trim off excess bag, soak with super glue.

Hasn't moved at all in 30-35 years.

So the loco just sits somewhere looking pretty?


Nah. It's in a box in a dark basement waiting for its time at Stout auctions.
