Small Parts sells some "anti-slip" material that we've used in the past. It is the non-skid used on stairs and one side has adhesive. You have to be careful putting it on the Sky-Way wheels (i.e. smooth, clean, and then carefully apply) but when you do it works well. In normal operation, it doesn't tear up the field. If you need to test-out the material and don't want to wait for the SP order, most Home-Depot stores carry the material (in their paint department).
