Spectrum 4-4-0 different gear problem

[Loco Bill Canelos]

Here is a link to to a photo of the replacement axle and gear.  If you replaced your old axle with this one and the gear fails the NWSL gear will not fit this axle.  https://estore.bachmanntrains.com/index.php?main_page=popup_image&pID=4833 .

This axle is out of stock.

Well, the new gear I got from Jiro works just fine. I had to open up the center hole to 1/8th as it was a fraction under, but the loco is back in action. [Curious - he made them 3mm, I tried a 3mm drill in my old one and it fit, but his wouldn't go on the peg without a slight releif.]

Message me if you want one of these (I now have 3 spares,) or I can put you in touch with Jiro Yeramian directly - I think he made a few more.
