O-Scale. Am I supposed to keep it this way? Or should I put another traction tire on the other wheel?

Also, does it matter if the train goes clockwise or counter-clockwise in regards to wear and tear? Only one side has the gears.

Try the 8505-206 traction tires from another supplier.

Lionel Maintenance & Repair / 4-4-0 LionChief's rubber wheels are deteriorating

I as well own a 2-8-4 which has absolutely zero black rubber on the track but my 4-4-0 is constantly leaving black rubber on the tracks. I use rubbing alcohol to get the black rubber off the track but eventually the entire wheels are going to be metal. Can I just leave that the way it is? Full metal on metal tracks, I really see no point in replacing the rubber on the wheels if it's going to deteriorate yet again after replacing the rubber.

Is anyone else having a problem with their 4-4-0 LionChief?
