There are 2 types of x8849 one is 26teeth thin cog is bigger than the fat one (that’s not the one ) and the other one is a thin small gear and a larger thick gear. It’s the second one I need. I have 3 of the 26 teeth ones but I need the 21 teeth version. Or a gear from another part no

I have had a few problems with Hornby and the mazak Rot. move spoken to Hornby and they have been so helpful and sorted the locos out free of charge, even when they have been over 10 years old. the latest one was a class 31 I bought years ago on eBay, spoke to them and they have agreed to replace it.
