AmFlyer posted:All the Lionel American Flyer and American Models 2 rail S gauge engines have traction tires. The SHS engines (now owned by MTH) do not. It seems like a product design and marketing decision by a manufacturer, not something inherent to 2 rail. The MTH box end label posted above states metal wheels and does not list traction tires as a feature.
The scale wheel versions of Lionel-Flyer, American Models and former S helper Service locomotives do not have traction tires...
