I got a set of New Haven 6-8851 & 8852 from the evil bay today and as you would know the seller is an outright lire Said it ran fine, [(-D] The E-unit was laying in the frame and it was sticking and it would not run at all. When I fixed that sparks were flying out from the rear motor truck wheel. [8o|]

One of the drive gear wheels for the traction tire is trashed and loose on the axle. I have looked up the part number for it in the supplement and it calls for a 8010-123. Drive Gear Wheel for a traction tire. I can’t find that part listed in any of the on line parts list. Has it been replaced with another number?

Thanks in Advance

The number sounds right, but I’m sure if you asked any parts dealer/train store for a traction for an MPC F3, they’d know what you’re talking about

Kev,

I would’ve opened a case with ebay’s Buyer Protection. Finding MPC parts probably won’t be easy.

JimmyT,

Can you use 2383-18 post war magnet power trucks as a replacement?

That would be an upgrade.

This guy is trying to blame the post office for the problems. NO WAY AT ALL, he is a jurk. Stay away from this guy, he sells under the name Traindude on Evil-Bay.

Kev,

I am not real familiar with the 2383 or MPC for that matter, so I can’t say. SirJames would be the guy to ask IMO.

That seller sounds like the the guy that I bought a KL distributor from on the bay. Said it was a Mazda reman, but what I received was totally different from the pics and description. Ate the loss on that one after the “buyer protection”.[soapbox] I’ve had cleaner distributors hop in my toolbag at the yards.[oops]

Call me a relic, call me old-fashioned, call me a dinosaur or even a fossil, but before I buy it I want to SEE it, especially if it’s used. It’s safer that way.

S&W has your 8010-123 grooved gear wheel on their list at $2.00 each. Here is a link: http://www.sandwparts.com/index.htm

If the wheel is only a little loose, often the problem can be addressed by carefully cleaning the end of the axle and the hole in the wheel to remove all traces of grease /oil, and putting a small drop of locktite or gap filling super glue in the wheel hole.
If you purchase a replacement wheel, you will need to press it onto the axle. This is done with a press at the factory and at most service stations.
Some folks use a vise.
At one time, Lionel recommended using a metal working lathe.
