Hello all! |
|
I have just acquired my first Lionel trains and am working on |
|
building my set. One of the trains is a prewar Lionel Lines No. |
|
257. While cleaning it up I noticed something unusual that I |
|
haven�t seen on any other example. The back right wheel is solid |
|
metal unlike the other three which have spokes. I will attach a |
|
picture to show. Is this normal or was the wheel replaced? Why |
|
would only this one be solid? Thank y�all for your time! I�m new |
|
to the forum so I hope this post is correct. Any insight y�all |
|
have would be great! |

Hello & Welcome to thd Forum! |
|
.It appears tfhat at some point the wheel(s) was/were replaced, |
|
probably due to zinc pest. |
|
If you're happy running as is, no problem. |
|
lf you want you want all the same wheels, Forum member Bill |
|
Hennings probably has replacement wheels in stock. Hennings |
|
Trains... |
|
Happy Rails! |
