Hello Everybody

Just got a new era II Marklin 46806 two-axle beer refrigerator car. It is a great wagon and I am really happy with it ... minus a small (solvable) problem.

One of the wheel axles seems to be off balance. This causes the wagon to .... tremble while running. The obvious solution is to replace the wheels. Already ordered one from my dealer.

I would like though, to learn how to change it my self. Can you please help me? There should be some link or tutorial to show me how. Just can;t find it.

Thank you in advance.

Regards and happy Sunday to all.

Hi Paris,

I think you have chosen the best solution.
These wheels sets are made in their millions, and the process is very much automated.
I cannot see any way or method, that would "true-up" a defective set.

My question was the silliest of all .... It was very simple after all. Just a small push with the tweezers and wheels are out!!! Now I am the MASTER of all Marklin technical issues BigGrin BigGrin BigGrin
