Here is a page with some good prototype information:

The top of the page is the history of the system, the bottom shows the
current implementation (including what happens if a tire runs flat...).

Greetings,
David

Hmmm,
The subway system in Paris France has trains that run on tires. I was rather

track though.
From what I understand the paris subway has several different styles of
