traction tires #5300 E6s4-4-2 steam engine

[jbrunet5878]

Does anyone know what part # and availability of traction tires for this Williams 0 gauge steam engine (#5300 E6s4-4-2)?

That is not one of the locos picked up when Bachmann took over the Williams line. Lionel reissued their version of the E6 in their 'Legacy' line and the tires for it may fit. The part number is 6208063615 and they are $1.50 each, plus S&H. The inside diameter is 1.125" and the width is 0.124". You can check the size of your wheels with a pair of calipers to see if they'll fit. The wheel slot where it will fit should be slightly larger than the tire's ID, so the tire has to stretch a bit when put on.

Thanks Len for the info. 

Can you tell me the part # for traction tires for Williams Trainmaster FM104?

Diesel traction tires aren't as varied as steam locos. With a few oddball exceptions it's pretty much 'one size fits all'. Bachmann's "universal" diesel traction tire kit can be found here: https://estore.bachmanntrains.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=77_219&products_id=6161&zenid=kaula74919ng2me5657uhnaf40

A quick internet search will bring up other 'O' diesel traction tires if you don't need the light bulbs.
