OFF the wagon. Has anyone had this happen to their cars?

 

[Totalwrecker]

Well yes ....'cept it was a loco. Super glue them back on.

My guess is that they are older LGB wheels. That has happened to me on some older LGB cars.

Richard

Just glue them back on the plastic hubs and you are good to go,or roll.

It is the Keystone Buddy L train set. I had never seen the tires separate from the wheel. I thought every thing was either plastic wheels or metal wheels. In all my years, I have never seen this hybrid version.

LGB used that for a number of years on some of their cars.

There is a shop in Germany that buys plastic wheels and then sells them with new metal tyres.

Dick...curious...did the car sit out in the cold?..plastic will shrink more than metal... therefore loosen the fit..

Put them together first... wick in super glue from behind..never tell...

The pix shows a rimmed wheel and these are made/sold by LGB or Train-line.
LGB is plated brass, trainline is stainless.

As the OP said, they are Keystone/Buddy L wheels. I have some here and they do have a plastic center. The cars are Bachmann copies, slightly different molds.
For an experiment I just put an axle in the freezer to see what happens. Stay tuned...

Yep, it only took 15 minutes or so in the freezer and one wheel came apart with my fingers.
So put the centers in the freezer first if you can't push them together again.

Or just swap out with new Bachmann metal wheels.
