Swapping out Revolution tires to Plarail traction tires - leylandvictory2 - 03-31-2021

I researched on how people make their revolution engines to run to Tomy/Trackmaster 1 tracks.  The easiest solution is just replace the revolution tires with Tomy traction tire.  I couldn't find a tutorial on how do it so I created a little video to show you how I did it.

Nice video Leyland. I have seen others ideas of changing the Revolutions wheels/tires but this method is a new one.

Silly question:
Did you glue your fingers together Big Grin

ha ha yes.  I am clumsy at times.  that's why i added a disclaimer "adult supervision required."

I recently picked up a bunch of these "Finger Cots" for that very reason. I was getting tired of just a little bit of glue sticking my fingers together. They just cover the ends of your fingers.  In the picture and listing it shows them loose but I wanted them tighter so I could feel the touch. They come in different sizes and I bought the medium which rolls on snugly and feels like a second skin.

thanks super.  I never know this product exists.  I don't think I will do any more modification.  The revolution tires runs well on trackmaster 1 and tomy tracks (except for the stop tracks) ,
