Here is a question for Mr. Bach-Man.
I have 2 older Bachmann locomotives that are inoperable due to the same problem. The nylon gear on the drive axle has split. It is the white gear that I have read has a tendency to fail.
These particular units are a TGV locomotive, and a 2-6-2. Both are, as well as I can remember, from the early 1980's. The TGV is from a set my wife got me for Christmas around 1982, so I'd like to be able to run it again.
I see in the N-scale parts listing are a 2-gear set for the 2-6-2. I have a current production 2-6-2 that doesn't use the white gear. Will this replacement gear set fit the old 2-6-2? Will it also fit the TGV?
If not, are there any replacements for the "white gear"?

Dear Les,
Please contact the service department. They'll have the answer for you.
Have fun!

Thanks, Mr. B!
I'll do that.
