I was testing out my experimental layout with an old AHM Alco Diesel and the wheels wore out. They seem to be a composite of metal with a rubber core. The metal wore off when I stress tested the tracks and engine by letting it make some circles with about 8 or 9 cars behind it. I should point out that these were mostly old Tyco cars so I could track derailments. The train did get many squeals of delight from my three boys when it went by them. Anyone else ever do this? IF so what do I need to look for as a cause? Thanks DT
