T9 Intermediate gears

[JWRStation]

There is plenty on the T9's chassis faults but mine did not suffer from this as its only a couple of years old however, after only a few hours running from new it has completely destroyed its intermediate Brass gearing.  Normally these are made of plastic and I have seen photos of the spares that are plastic. If I had known it was brass I would have double checked the meshing and lube before running but as all my other modern locos have plastic gearing it was not considered.

OK. In good Hornby fashion the intermediate gear assm is no longer available so does anybody known of an alternative?????

There are specialist gear manufacturers who catalogue parts by various parameters such as OD, number of teeth, bore diam, width, etc. These are obviously not as cheap as standard parts and these catalogues can be tiresome to wade through to find the right bits.

Google will find them as I don’t have a direct link to anyone. Other forums have discussed similar topics and their forum search may be easier to use and more accurate than the search on here.
