I just received my first geared locomotive! And it climbs inclines like a champ!
Should I be concerned about the plastic gears? Did the 70 ton climax ever ship with metal gears?
I can't tell if the gears are metal using a magnet doesn't work as the gears are very small and the is surrounded by other metal parts (ironic!)
I am just if I should go ahead and order the metal gears.
thanks

Some will develop cracks, others won't. Wait until you have a problem, then fix it.

might you know if the 70 ton climax was ever issued with metal gears?
the 50 ton now seems to be issued with metal gears now.
Thanks
Bill
The metal gears seem to be a recent thing......I don't think any production runs of the 3 trucker ever got made with metal gears.
