Title: 4-8-4 Niagara Main gear?
Post by: VTBob on June 08, 2023, 10:43:05 PM
Hello,

I have an HO Scale Bachmann Plus 4-8-4 Niagara that has a main gear cracked axle type thing going on. I have not been able to locate a gear for it. Shapeways only has the Northern gear, which does not fit. I already tried it, it's too big in diameter. Where can I possibly source a gear for it? It used to run beautifully, but now sits on the shelf awaiting a new gear.

Thanks in advance,
Rob

It's not that simple - the main gear cracked, in half. So a replacement gear is required now.
