Description: THIS IS AN HO SCALE ITEM: FOR SALE IS 2 TRACTION TIRES IN 1 PACK/LABELED PARTS BAG FOR MODEL POWER TENDER DRIVE STEAM LOCO MADE IN BRAZIL. THESE TENDER DRIVE TRAINS MADE IN BRAZIL WERE MANUFACTURED BY BRAZILIAN TRAIN MAKER FRATESCHI. FRATESCHI MADE THE TENDER DRIVE STEAM LOCOMOTIVES FOR MODEL POWER BACK IN 1990'S. THEY MADE 4-6-0, 2-8-0, 0-8-0, CONSOLIDATION AND TEN WHEELERS. STILL TODAY FRATESCHI STILL SELLS THE CONSOLIDATION AND TEN WHEELER BUT MODEL POWER STOPPED SELLING THEM YEARS AGO. THE PRICES WERE HIGH AND THAT MADE THEM LESS ATTRACTIVE TO CUSTOMERS SO MODEL POWER DROPPED THEM FROM THEIR BRAND. BOTH MODEL POWER AND FRATESCHI BRANDS SOLD THESE TENDER DRIVE STEAM ENGINES ALL OVER THE WORLD AND MANY OF THEM STILL EXIST TODAY NEEDING NEW TRACTION TIRES. THESE BRAZIL BUILT TENDER DRIVE STEAM ENGINES ARE NOT DESIGNED THE SAME WAS AS THE OLD MADE IN HONG KONG TYCO TENDER DRIVE STEAM ENGINES. THE BRAZIL BUILT TRAIN HAS BETTER MOTOR POWERING IT. THE FRONT 2 WHEELS ON THE TENDER CLOSEST TO THE STEAM ENGINE ARE THE WHEELS THAT USE THE TRACTION TIRE. REPLACING THE TIRES ON THIS VERSION OF BRAZIL BUILT TENDER DRIVE TRAIN IS NOT TOO HARD BECAUSE THE TRUCK SIDE FRAMES COME OFF EASY AND WHEN THE TRUCK SIDE FRAME IS OFF IT FREES UP BETTER ACCESS TO THE WHEELS NEEDING THE TIRE. AS A PRECAUTION I WOULD REMOVE THE TENDER SHELL BEFORE DOING A TIRE REPLACEMENT SO THE TENDER STEPS DO NOT GET IN THE WAY AND BECOME BROKEN. THE TENDER SHELL POPS OFF EASY WHEN YOU RUN A THIN BLADE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TENDER SHELL BETWEEN THE TENDER SHELL AND THE TENDER CHASSIS. PRY OUT SLIGHTLY AND PULL THE TENDER SHELL UP OFF AND AWAY.
