While I've never used it, there was a product named "Bullfrog Snot". Believe it was to be applied in place of a traction tire.

It was originally marketed to the HO crowd it is not designed to fill the groove of a loco which normally uses traction tires. Want to gum up a perfectly good running loco. Add a little green dye to contact cement and Green snot is what you get. Several people claim to have good results with various silicone caulk /sealant. You make a tiny putty knife with some plastic jug material then with the loco running upside down trowel it into the groove then let it cure. I have not got around to trying the idea but keep thinking about trying one of the versions of Flex Seal in such a role. j
