Went down to the San Diego 3-Railers on August 20th, and had a good day operating my Reading passenger train with my Lionel Reading T1 and Atlas O Reading C630. The whole trainset ran without issue for the almost the entire day, but after I filmed the first clip both the traction tires came off. These were the original traction tires to the engine and I was surprised by how long they lasted before they finally failed, but it was quite inconvenient to have them fail on the first clip. I was able to replace both traction tires and I refilmed the first clip. Engine has a bit of a wobble now, but what can you do...
