I bought a few of them from HD. I couldn't find any that were 1.5" wide... they were .75" wide, so I put two of them side by side on a wheel. I didn't like how thick they were, and I couldn't get the edges to mesh up as nicely as I wanted, so I killed that idea. Last time I was at HD I saw some rubber sheeting that was a lot thinner. I think it was used for lining showers or something like that. I don't think I want a bouncy "tire", just something to prevent wood on wood contact between the bogie wheels and the inner track pieces
