DCMarvel Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I have quite a few oldish Hornby tender drive steam locos and some diesels which to coin a phrase 'couldn't pull a skin off a rice pudding' or even worse can't pull 3 coaches! These have laid in a box in the quite hot/very cold loft for a few years and are in 'as new' condition and run fine on their own. I have checked the traction tyres and they seem OK but I have a feeling they have hardened a little and the wheel is also turning inside the tyre. Replacements are expensive and awkward to fit so I have bought a bottle of Bullfrog Snot. No instructions came with it so how is the best way to apply it and what is the drying time?

wasdavetheroad Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I found bullfrog snot was good as a final coating even on traction tyres in good condition. By slowly building up layers you can even replace a missing traction tyre in grooved wheels. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Buckner Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 does Bullfrog Snot dirty the track as badly as traction tyres do? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
