True, that axle does not work but I only wanted the brass gear anyway so I got it and mounted it on the 4-4-0 axle that I have and it is fine.

Hi Wayne,

Can you post a link to the part you bought?

When you are done making the fix with the part, would you please let us know how it went??

Thanks, Bill

I have found that sometimes the Bachmann online store has things that are out of stock.

Try ordering the following

This is the Axle and Gear for the 2-8-0

An alternative is a gear made by NWSL.  If you can not get the Bachmann gear I have several of the NWSL gears I will not be using.  If interested send me a message offline.

I ordered the gear/axle that Stan mentioned, the picture that appears on the website indicates that the axle is not exactly the same as for the 4-4-0, but it looks like it will do the job anyway.  We shall see when it arrives.  Thanks.

Wayne

Sorry, I have the 4-4-0 version.  I am working on a plan to create a new gear but if I can get one without doing so I will do that.

I have a broken drive gear (for the second time) and have been advised that the replacement part will no longer be made.  Has anyone else had this problem and, if so, how did you solve it.
