I have an older G Scale Goose #2 with bad gears. I understand that the company North West Short Line makes replacement gears. Has anyone done a gear replacement for this? I am looking for photos to assist with the proper dismantling of the Goose Gear box.?

Is this the helical gear in the gearbox? i do not know if this is available as i had a similar issue with Goose #7. the gear in question is insert molded onto the shaft, and any replacement needs to be done in a similar manner. I did 3d print a replacement and it seams to be holding up.note the flat spot internally in the gear. this engages a similar notch in the axle. i used a material called durable which has some flexibility.
