Oh wow, not sure how I missed the John. These look to be direct replacement https://Bachmann-spares.co.uk/product/category/1208/class-40-new-tooling-geared-axles-371-180/f7118-272-01 I'll probably go that route for now (and get a spare) and then look at other options for the future. Thank you both!

I can see from various other topics on the subject of split gears / missing teeth that I should probably get used to the issue, but they don't seem to link off to the source for their replacement parts.

Good afternoon all. I recently purchased a used Bachmann Farish Class 40 (371-182) and sadly when servicing it I spotted a single tooth is missing from a gear on a drive wheel axle. It can cause some kangarooing and even jamming at slow speeds. I've found various websites where I can buy a replacement gear, or even the axle and wheels too, but other than matching the number of teeth, wheel diameter and the look, I'm a little lost. I'm comfortable doing any fixes, I'm just unsure on the best source of the part. Any recommendations? Thank you.
