Bought a Williams Milwaukee St. Louis GP7 still in the box never apparently opened off e-bay.   First time I try to run it a wheel falls off.    I pushed it back on but it still comes off.  I think this was first produced in the 90's So I have no idea if it would be covered by a warranty so my question is can I find a new W.R.L  F-7 A-4 truck to replace this one or can I, as an old fellow down at the train club said, just use some Super Glue and carefully glue the wheel to the shaft?

Wow, I'm going to cut and paste that  info.  Thanks, I'll keep it for future need but I got it to work using a different approach.  I got it to work using wedges and a C clamp.    Now, I'm using this beauty on a Lionel LW transformer with 115 watts and 60 cycles.  The Whistle will not sound, but the train speeds up!   I tried it with a Lionel zw and the bell rang but the train was moving, I thought the bell sounded when the train is stopped anyway the Whistle still will not sound.   any Ideas?   I hate to wrap and ship for repairs.    The LZ is old and that might be a problem.   other folks in the local Lionel run Lionel and Williams with a mix of transformers and don't seem to have problems.

I recently purchased a GP-9 Minneapolis and St. Louis off E-Bay.  It had never been opened.   Even the Cardboard cutouts around the wheel assemblies were still on.  Little card to register etc....    Imagine my surprise when one of the four wheels on the front just DROPPED off  .   It was not on the shaft even though the blurb says all trains are checked and tested before they are shipped etc....    So, how can I get the wheel back on the shaft.    I'm assuming since it was bought off e-bay the warranty will be bye bye.   

thanks for any help,
