Minitrix Ivatt 2-6-0 spare part

[roundwell]

I'm in the process of building a slow running shunter to cope with the MBM couplings that I have fitted to all of my stock. I've found a geared motor on ebay  for £3.45 which runs at 600 rpm so with a worm drive to the wheels it will run nice and slow even with the controller at full speed.  The loco is built on a minitrix 2-6-0 Ivatt chassis without the bogie wheels so it's an 0-6-0.  The problem I have is that in the course of building it I have lost one of the idler gears that goes between the driving gears. It has an axle which is 5mm long and the gear itself is 5mm in diameter with 12 teeth.  If anyone has one of these floating around in the spares box I would be willing to buy it or exchange for something I've got.

do you think minitrix would provide a replacement gear?

For a 1970s locomotive?

Dead Minitrix locos come up on that auction site quite often.

actually, i read the op and the lost gear lsnt from the loco itself, but from the gearbox that the motor is attatched too, there must be lots of manufacturers who produce/use small gear wheels. If you have the main stats then you may well get lucky.
