Does anyone have a gear set for this loco please. I need the primary gear, a 13 tooth helical gear to mesh with the motor worm. Failing this a chassis for spares? My old loco is worn out and the motor keeps jumping out of gear. Many thanks
Hi Alan
The problem with the motor jumping the teeth on your 1980
Hello Brian, Many thanks for your helpful comments re the various designs of this loco.
The one I'm talking about has a direct drive between the the motor and the gear set, the motor is rigidly mounted in the cab and there is no flexible coupling between it and the worm. The chassis is all metal, painted red has metal motion and came from a Lilliput Zillertalbahn set which my father bought in Austria around 1985. The later Bachmann version with the plastic motion, which I also have, is as you describe.
Having said all that if you have a scrap chassis with a gear set including the primary 13 tooth helical gear, 6mm dia 2.1mm thick running on a 1.6mm shaft I'd be very interested to buy if you wish to sell.
Thanks again, regards
Alan Hamer
