Arnold 0-4-0 replacement gears?

[Michael Towers]

I've just got an Arnold 0-4-0 chassis off ebay and found that one of the gears has split.

Does anyone know if its possible to get a replacement from somewhere?

As a work around I've taken one of the gears between the wheel and the motor out so it can still run but is only powered by one axle which isn't exactly brilliant.

It might be worth having a look at the Microantribe website at http://www.mikroantriebe.de. A there is an English version of the site and it should be possible to locate a match from them.

Thanks for the reply.

I've managed to fit a gear from a Fleischmann loco I don't use and it fits fine (after a little bit of filing because it was too wide).

Well done Michael. It's good to see we have someone who is resourceful and not afraid to try an alternative approach to solving a problem. Also well done for using the forum correctly unlike some who think it is the answer to far too many silly and mundane requests.
