CAlled Bachmann no help here either they said I needed a Bachmann part #   .Bachmann more or less told me if  the loco'a are over 5 yrs old ..I was on my on to find the parts

Ok ..I need the Bachmann part # for some traction tires,These are 20 yr old diesels Santa fe  and Burlington (same chassis ) These are four wheel drive locos with the back 2 wheels (1 axle) having traction tires .theses are the cheap engines ,I've tried making them from RTV and have got them to work ,but not exactly right .I want to get then fully functional  mostly for sentimental value  Or if not a Bachmann # Some other manufactures # that will work.

I'm having some trouble getting some new couplers to line up (height wise)
replacing all couplers with Kadee #5s .Was looking at Kadee #44 (short underset) to adjust the height a little .Are these compatible  or do I need to get something else ?

I got lots of plastic ones ,but their reall not stiff enough to run (real powered wires on em ) unless I haven't figured it out yet
