Traction tires or bullfrog snot?

[RobertInOntario]

I've read some reviews about Frog Snot -- it seems like good stuff. One reviewer pointed out it is not as good as a regular traction tire. If your loco wheels are grooved for traction tires, you may want to stick with them. Google frog snot and you'll find a lot of reviews about it. Personally, I thinned some silicone caulk and applied it to the drive wheels on one of my Athearn Hustlers -- works great so far. Time will tell how long it will lasts until a reapplication is needed.

Thanks, Chuck. I think that's what my friend was recommending -- silicon caulk. However, this loco does have grooves for tires so maybe it is better to go that route. Rob
