its not much use to the bullfrog any more,we may as well use it.
This sounds like just what I need for some older locomotives that cannot pull very many cars at all. Thanks for the writeup.
Are you guys serious!!! I received my copy of Model Railroader in the beginning of April, and when I read this ad, my first thought was… OK this must be their April Fool joke for the year. If it is, it’s a good one because it does actually look like a legitimate product, but if it isn’t, good luck trying to sell it, bercause I don’t think I could buy something with that name. Take care, Tom Ryan
Can this be used as a replacement for traction tires when they come off a steam locomotive? In other words, is it thick enough to fill the depression that the standard traction tires fit into?
I’ve got a Rivarossi Challenger with a tire that keeps popping off and fouling the running gear. It looks like the best thing is to cut it off and apply snot to the groove. Question: Can snot be used to “glue” the original rubber traction tire back on with a thin layer over it keeping it in place?
(Yo, Ray! Get over it. It’s not really snot. It’s plastic. Just put the image out of your mind or think of it like a glue or similar product like Micro Crystal Clear or masking fluid. )
I can’t tell you the number of people I know who have been looking for a solution to the traction tire replacement dilemma on HO steamers. This is truly a halleluia moment for model railroaders!
Saw your review and wondered if it would help on my HOn3 Locos; got some and it works like a charm!! Some small locos which struggled and could only pull 2-3 cars up a 2-3% grade are pulling 4-6 cars!! Love the snot! Works really well on the small engines and even railcars with wipers for pickup.
I have a 2-6-0 Camelback engine with electrical pick up on the right side drive wheels. Do you think I could apply the traction solution to the right read drive wheel AND to all three non-pick upn wheels on the left side ??
I run N Scale. Is there something for N Scale engines that would supply power to the pickup wheels to keep the wheels rotating in the cradle for 30 minutes while the “Snot” cured partially?
If I read the questions and answers correctly, you would only apply the Bullfrog Snot to one set of drive wheels, not all (as many drive wheels also are power pick-up wheels also), is that correct?
