Fitting new traction tyres to my yellow Playmobil diesel.

[Sarah Winfield]

My fingers are too large to fit new traction tyres to my Playmobil yellow diesel.
I think dropping the chassis might work but is it usual to do this, please?
Thank you

Hello Sarah,

Not familiar with the Playmobil diesel but if the tyres are same or similar to the LGB 0-4-0 chassis blocks I found a small pair of bent nose tweezers were the best tool.

I just use a small flat blade screwdriver.

Thank you for your ideas but I didn't like to use anything metal for fear of damaging the tyre.

A coffee stirrer.

Plastic tools borrowed from the computer repair dpt. perhaps?

Hi Sarah
can you let me know the part number and where you got them from as my Granddaughters yellow playmobil diesel locomotive need a set of new tyres ?

Regards John

The Playmobil part number is 30 80 3460.

I've had the ones I've just fitted for some time and I think they came from the UK. However, it may be future requirements may have to come from France.

Why's that, Sarah?
