Unless your wheels have grooves for traction tires, BFS won't help IMO. I agree.......find someone to machine grooves into the drivers and make sure they are wide enough to receive modern traction tires. If the grooves are too narrow, you'll have trouble finding tires, as is the case with the older Williams brass locos. As Marty Fitzhenry used to say, "always replace a tire with a tire." The only time I will use BFS is in the case of my Williams locos. It isn't nearly as good as a tire, but it's better than nothing.
