Has anyone used Micro Mark plastic casting for making drive gears on a locomotive?
Such as this set from Micro Mark
Long story short. Since Scaletrains has bought MTH you cannot get parts for MTH. Same with the parts from Scaletrains. I was told by scale trains that there are too many parts to stock. I asked them " What do you do when you have a bad part?" He told me he wasn't sure.
So HO scale MTH Veranda Big Blow gears lost some teeth in the drive tower and NWSL has some but not what I need. NWSL said they couldn't make it right now because they had no help. So my next thing is to mold a set of gears. If you have done that before, do the gears hold up well?
Looking for advice. I have looked everywhere!!! Frustrated.
