Catastrophic Failure

During the May 2004 NMRA meeting it was reported that the "Tractor" was running erratically. A quick examination revealed that the tyre of one of the driving wheels had become loose on the wheel centre.

Fortunately, I had obtained replacement wheelsets for both the tractor and associated "shunter's runner" last year, as I was concerned about the plating having worn off the wheels, and was able to replace the wheelset in an evening's work.
