Hi, I have an Athearn Genesis USRA pacific 4-6-2 which has a cracked drive gear. I tried to order a NWSL 2147-6 replacement Delrin gear but they do not ship to England!
Does anyone have the required NWSL 2147-6 which they would be prepared to pass on to a (determined to get the loco fixed) modeller across the pond?
Thanks in anticipation.
Doug
Doug,
I would be willing to help You…I already do that with a Friend of mine in the UK, Manchester to be exact. If You could send Me a PM (Private Message) with Your E-Mail addy. Hopefully, I will receive it, with the unpredictability of PM’s now.
Take Care! [:D]

Frank, I have some of the Athearn axles gears. I never used them, as I now buy the complete axles assembly.
Let me know if they are needed.
Mike.
Thanks Mike,
I believe what He is looking for is the main drive axle gear for the 4-6-2, 2-8-2 steamers. 21 tooth Spur Gear. NWSL does have them. I have three 2-8-2’s with that gear, fortunately, mine have not cracked yet! Not many hours on them, but I was thinking of getting some for Myself, just in case.
Take Care! [:D]

I got so frustrated with my Athearn Genesis light USRA mikado that I replaced the whole thing with an older Oriental Powerhouse USRA light mikado.
I am happy with the replacement, but I still have the Athearn locomotive. It might become a piece of scenery or something.
