Berkshire traction tire problems

Just bought a Williams Berkshire.  After less than 15 minutes of running it threw a traction tire.  Upon inspection, the metal rim that holds the rubber tire in place is loose.  The metal rim is probably press fit in the factory.  Is this fixable or do I need to return it?

WOW, not sure on that one. I think that I would return it to WBB and let them handle it since it is a new loco.

But, on the Lionel locomotive of the same quality of loco AND  large die-cast tender, you will find a much higher price and only one or possobly two road names to choose from! LOL!!! ;D ;)

If you just bought it, I'd return it for warranty repair. You must have a dated receipt from a bone fide WBB dealer.
