Wheel Lathe
Many modern depots are equipped with a wheel profiling facility known as a wheel lathe. These are normally designed so that the wheels can be reprofiled while still on the train. Removing the wheels requires the train to be lifted and this is an expensive business and very time-consuming. To avoid this, the underfloor wheel lathe or "ground" wheel lathe was developed like the one shown in Figure 5.
Wheels can be removed from a train by a "wheel drop", where the wheelset is lowered underneath the train into a basement below the depot floor.
