<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Wow! Do traction tyres make THAT much difference?
They certainly do - it is the only way that Hornby could release the new model with the 3 Mk 1 derived Caley coaches and the GWR Clerestories that will appear with the 2008 "Flying Dutchman" pack. I just wish it had metal tender wheels with electrical pick-up, as the traction tyres cause it to stutter badly when going over the larger Peco points.
