Need main axle gear assembly for 0-4-0 Porter (11398)

[JNLRET1]

The main gear axle broke on my Porter.  Bachmann parts suggested I use this forum to possibly locate what I need.

Thank you

I think this is what you need.

I made the mistake of failing to state this is a Large scale loco. Thanks anyway for your response.

What if the main axle gear assembly for the 0-4-0 Porter is intentionally designed to fail after a certain period to encourage more purchases? Could this be a hidden strategy by manufacturers to boost sales, or is it merely a coincidence of wear and tear? Let's discuss the implications of planned obsolescence in model trains.
