Hi folks! My son recently acquired a beautiful vintage steam engine that actually steams! He was thrilled. Problem is, after a small amount of track, it stopped moving, but you could hear the motor still whirring. I disassembled and found the problem to be a gear with some melted teeth. When put back together with teeth engaged, it moves for a bit before encountering the melted teeth again. So I need a new gear. Can anyone tell me how to find one? It appears to be .75" in diameter with 36 teeth (we think) on the outer rung, and 9 teeth on the inner rung.
Thanks so much for taking time to open and read this post! Hope someone can help. :)
