Hi all - new to these forums. I have a 1990's vintage LGB Olomana in VG condition, and I'd like to keep it running. It is obviously one of the old style Olomanas, with the rear axle driven and a drive belt connecting to the front axle. I got this engine used, and I am pretty sure this engine was run *a lot* on a Christmas loop in a hobby shop. The drivers on one side have the plating worn off, and the underlying brass is showing. As a result, the wheel surfaces get dirty quickly, and require cleaning much more often than I like. Train Li and perhaps a few others offer replacement wheel sets for the LGB Chloe engine, which I believe is the same basic chassis and wheelsets (am I wrong?). If so, can these bet swapped out for the old ones? I note that the wheelsets offered by Train Li have identical gears on the axles, so not sure if the single geared axle and belt drive would work on these new axles? https://www.trainli.com/products/detail/282/5933 Thanks for any advice or knowledge! - Bruce
