I need to find a gear that is driven by the motor pinion on an older 4-8-4 Niagra Steam Engine. This plastic gear also has a smaller gear around the center. Where can I find a replacement? Are there other models that use the same gear?
It is the favorite engine of a retired preacher that lives in my neighborhood and I would really like to get it running for him. I have already dismantled and cleaned the motor and now need a gear.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks, ;D
Dear Mr. M,
It's unlikely that there are any gears for an older 4-8-4, but call the service department tomorrow to make sure.
Have fun!

If the part is not available (it is a very old engine) you might try Northwest Shortline for a part. Bowser also makes a complete remotor kit that uses your engine shell. The bad news - it retails for about $80.
