NWSL makes gearboxes specifically for most Bowser steam locomotives, and they include the worm and worm gear, and, where applicable, the idler gears, too. You will need to remove one of the wheels from your locomotive's geared axle in order to remove the original gear and install the new one. While you don't "need" any specialised tools to do this work, they do offer the "Puller" for removing and installing wheels and gears and the "Quarterer" for re-quartering the drivers. I have both, and find the Puller the more useful of the two. I can usually quarter drivers "by eye", but the tool does work.
NWSL has an on-line catalogue HERE, and you can contact them at sales@osorail.com. If you have a specific question or request, contact Dave Rygmyr at davidry@osorail.com
I recently replaced the axle gear in this old Samhongsa 2-6-0, and was pleased to discover that they had a 30 tooth gear specifically for this locomotive:
