Somehow I lost the gear that connects the front truck of my N scale LifeLike SD7, to the worm gear. I tried to find a replacement gear on the Walthers site, to no luck. It’s the gear that has the metal pin connecting it, and the truck, to the rest of the locomotive. Does anyone know where to find replacement gears for n scale?
On another note, I’m also looking for a new motor/worm gear for an N scale Bachmann Plymouth. I emailed Bachmann’s parts department, and haven’t heard back. I know it’s probably easier to buy a new engine, but this one was a gift from years ago, and I’d like it to run again.
That model is many years out of production, so I’m wondering if Walthers no longer stocks the parts. However, they still seem to be readily available as they pop up on eBay all the time for decent prices. You might consider buying a used one and swap shells, or cannibalize it for parts.
I have two myself and they are decent runners - especially for the price!
