New Bright Holiday Express METAL WHEEL Upgrade Log Mill, Tanker, Mailbox, Tender

Description: Please Visit our Ebay Train Store for many more Holiday Express Train items: https://www.ebay.com/str/TJ-Sales-Unlimited/Model-Railroads-Trains*******************Metal wheel set for Holiday Express accessory cars Upgrade your Train car's plastic wheels with heavier and sturdier metal wheels.This listing is for one set of 4 metal wheels as shown in the first photo only. Enough to upgrade one train car. (2 of the axles are geared for the on-board animation, the other 2 are not). The next twelve photos are for mounting reference only. Photos 2, 3 and 4 show the metal wheels in place of the plastic wheels on the Log Mill car, Tree Top Tender car and Passenger car for examples.This metal wheel UPGRADE will create a much lower center of gravity on your Train Car which will help to minimize derailments.The first generations of Holiday Express trains all came with these metal wheels, but in the later models, plastic was used instead to save on production cost.These are very easy to install if you have basic repair skills; just pry each bottom cover off that holds the wheels in place (they have a snap-clip at each end of the cover). Install instructions, see all 13 attached photos showing install on a Tender for reference: photo 5: shows the snap-on plastic axle cap on the underside of the wheel assembliesphoto 6: remove cap by prying one end up with a small flat screwdriver, then do the opposite side of the cap. Do one end of the car at a time to avoid losing parts inside the wheel assemblyphoto 7: lift the cap up to remove the plastic wheeled axle, the cap on the Tender has a wire attached but there is enough slack to remove the axle. The other accessory cars don't have this wire.photo 8 & 9: do the axle one end at a time, remove the old axle and then drop in the new one with metal wheelsphoto 10 & 11: be sure to hold the car upside down (not on its side) so when you remove the cap, the gear assembly doesn't fall outphoto 12 & 13: also be sure that when you remove the axle, the axle bushings don't come out with the axle (they tend to get stuck on the axle. If it does come out, just line it up and drop it back in place. Nothing beats the sound of those metal wheels rolling down the tracks! If installing on a Log Mill or Tanker (ice skating car), they will require one geared axle on each end of the wheel trucks.The Tree Top Tender, Candy Dancer, Santa's Mailbox and Santa's Toy Shop caboose will require just one geared axle (then just install the other geared axle on the opposite wheel truck assembly and it spins idle).Can also be used to upgrade the Passenger car and Reindeer Stable cars. CANNOT BE USED ON THE BAKERY CAR, the Bakery car takes a different, larger axle gear specific to that car.
