Best Answer

Train wheels that have changeable rims are becoming quite rare.

To install heat a rim, careful to not heat so hot you get red hot or hot enough to damage the metal.

The wheel should be prepared and your new rim will fit against a edge called a flange to locate it.

The axle and wheel are stood up so the rim can be dropped onto the wheel and allowed to cool and shrink onto the wheel.
