I've paid a quick visit to bricklink.com - haven't found any engine tires
there yet but I could probably pick up something similar at a plumbing
supply shop. As for the rails, I have wiped them all down with isopropyl
alcohol which has removed some gunk. I dismantled the axles before applying
a tiny spot of Wd40 - didn't squirt it stright out of the can and everything
runs more smoothly.
