The center layout on my 6-32998 Lionel Operating Hobby shop quit rotating. Upon investigation
I discovered the nylon drive gear had split and sheared some teeth. Lionel doesn't currently list
the gear and the next higher assembly, Gearbox, 620-4295-145, is unavailable. When looking at
the enlarged picture of the Gearbox the gear is the larger, black one (white on mine).
The gear is 1/2" in diameter, has 24 teeth and the center drive hole is 'D' shaped and large. I
would be able to make any 1/2" 24 tooth gear work by forming the drive hole myself.
Does anyone have a spare gear, or know where I might be able to obtain one?
Thanks
