Well I ran the wheels off of my Locomotive

I was testing out my experimental layout with an old AHM Alco Diesel and the wheels wore out. <br /> <br />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. <br /> <br />I should point out that these were mostly old Tyco cars so I could track derailments. <br /> <br />The train did get many squeals of delight from my three boys when it went by them. <br /> <br />Anyone else ever do this? IF so what do I need to look for as a cause? <br /> <br />Thanks <br /> <br />DT
