       2-4-2 Steam Locomotive only has 1 traction tire pre-installed

       O-Scale. Am I supposed to keep it this way? Or should I put
       another traction tire on the other wheel?
       Also, does it matter if the train goes clockwise or
       counter-clockwise in regards to wear and tear? Only one side has
       the gears.

       Hello & Welcome to the Forum!
       looking at my loco's with traction tires, l see grooves for a
       traction tire on only one wheel.
       Running  trains, l run them both directions to keep wheel &
       track wear even.
       Hope this is of some help.
       Happy Rails!
