Life-Like Trains/ Traction Tires
I kinda like the Life Like Engines but cannot stand those Traction tires, on any engine. Is there an alternative to using the traction tires at all? More weight in the engine? Different trucks/ wheels?

I used to run our crappy cheap Bachmann locomotives full speed around the test track, traction wheels falling off...ended up using the excel knifes to cut them off... We would add more weight inside the engine, seemed to help with tractive effort.
