I think this might be in the FAQ... yes, here it is:
http://www.lugnet.com/~330/FAQ/Trains/tires
Cary has put a great deal of effort into this FAQ and I cannot speak highly
enough of its utility. It is a great place to see if your questions are
answered.
Anyway you do see the tires (wheel sleeves) come up for auction on eBay once
in a while.. but that way is spendy. Better to try using rubber bands or
rubber tubing slices or heatshrink or even... Playmobil spares which I am in
the process of getting copies of to see how well they work.
Good luck!
Another approach entirely is to convert the whole thing to 9V. But of course
that removes some of the charm, it is said.
