Title: 2-4-2 gear
Post by: dodgejr on November 18, 2015, 03:41:45 PM
I have a Big Hauler White Pass #91119 2-4-2, and it looks like the pinion gear, or worm gear, is bad,  not sure what to call it, where can I get replacement parts?

Sounds like an oldie - doubtful that parts are still available.
Contact the service department to find out:

Hi dodgejr

Your 2-4-2 was introduced in 1992 and is long out of production.  If Service can't help you might try NWSL( http://nwsl.com/ ) for replacement gears.

You might also try to find a 2-4-2 on ebay and make your old one into a display piece or a dummy.   Remember these old units are likely to have problems if they have a lot of running on them.

Good luck with your repair.
