Friends, I have been reading the large scale posts for 10 pages now and appreciate all the discussion on the beloved 0-4-0
"Porter" loco. Including the history lesson by Loco Bill! I bought my set a long time ago and its sat in its original box for what seems like forever. The axle drive gear is slipping as she goes around the track. I wrote Bachmann and they suggested a new drive train for her as those 1st generation gear parts are long gone. I saw some talk of NWSL being able to make a replacement gear but I don't have the specs. I tried to super glue it and use model paint to secure it to no avail. Loco Bill and friends...the set is almost like new...do I have any other options? Thank You! Jim Howe -- 30 year Air Force vet and model train junkie
