Use Bullfrog snot? I know thinning it with half water/half BFS helps make the application more even.

No, the goal is to replace the TT equipped (grooved) wheels with plain wheels for better electrical connectivity.  So no Bull-Snort needed.  :)

samusi01: I also wondered why they used TTs on that model.  I guess they wanted to make sure that this li'l switcher could pull a long train.  Whatever . . . :D
As far as spares go, I spoke about these with Arvids (their sales/tech-support rep) and he said that they had a very limited number of spares and they went fast. They still have few coupler assemblies left.

If someone has a dummy mechanism (either with missing/bad motor or 100% traction tires), I could use one under my extra shell.
