Title: Gearbox drive cog
Post by: radiomarty on 30, August, 2009 - 17:00:18

Hi does any one have a spare nylon drive cog that fits on the end of the motor shaft to drive the gearbox ?

If you mean the cream coloured cog on the end of the armature (between the two small sets of bearings and the single larger bearing) I think you might struggle to find one  :-\

Might be worth calling Adam , he's the only person I can think of who is likely to have a supply of new ones.

I picked up a motor and gearbox in bits some time ago from a train fanatic and have just got round to sorting them out . The cog was missing (REMOVED TO DRIVE THE MODEL TRAIN !!!) but the fingers etc and gearbox was fine so I was hoping to put it all back together as a spare especially if we are doing the L2B ! So Stan and Archie are just fine (great storage shed by the way matey - might have to look into one of these myself as the misses is moaning about space !)

Spike told me that not so long ago the model train bods were using c5 motors for their trains, but were throwing away the gearboxes coz they didn't need them :'(
