The train motors have small rubber o-rings around the wheels, they are what

I assume you ment to say this only for the old 12V train motors, and this is
not valid for the current 9V motors ?

Greetings, M. Moolhuysen.

No, the 9volt motors also have the rubber o-ring, it's just smaller and less
noticable than the 12v ones.
