tangoman posted:I have ran my VL Niagara for this past week with no issues until Saturday night. After about an hour the Niagara shredded a traction tire. No big deal but getting the screw out to replace was. I don't know if Lionel used Loc tite on the threads but wow it was tough to break the joint. I did get it changed, put on MTH traction tires and continued running great. However the Phillips head was a little buggered up.
My question is I would like to get a few extra Phillips head screws for this engine and was wondering if the CCII Niagara used the same screws? Or does anyone know what size screw Lionel uses for this on the drivers? I could get them from Lionel if the Parts site ever gets back up. Thanks for your input.
Stay frosty my friends,

what size mth tires did you use?
Hi TANGOMAN,
I used the MTH DE0000031. I get them at YORK for a buck apiece. They work great on all my Lionel and MTH engines.
