It has taken a long time to find the items from Marklin... that work on my Rivarossi Big Boy Locomotive. Several years ago I got a pair for twice this sale. So I am happy with this sale and welcome my Big Boy back into operations'.

I have about a hundred HO loco...s with traction tires running on 2-1/2% grades. I own a mini-lathe with a setup dedicated to cutting the grooves for tires. I've tried various brands of traction tires and found these to be the most uniform in thickness and width and best in quality of material and durability. They're easy to install and tolerant of the stretching and abrasion that occurs during installation. They provide consistent traction, are never out-of-round or bumpy and none has ever fallen off a wheel. Best of all, my locos haul heavy trains like mad. - L Arellano

The Maerklin 7153 is ideally suite...d for 14-18mm/0.55-0.71 diameter HO scale driving wheels which are grooved to accept traction tires. The compound is superb in elasticity and adhesion. It resists hardening caused by oil and cleaning residues. Suitable for other brands of HO scale including US models. Available in other sizes as 7151, 7152, and 7154. I prefer them rather than the manufacturer’s originals on everything I own.
