Hi everyone
I am in need of 1 geared axle for an Atlas 8000 series S1. The part has not been available from Atlas for a number of years and the cost of NWSL gears (if they have them) are more than I can spend on a new locomotive. The S1 I have was new old stock and had 2 bad gears. The one was still available. It's a shame the manufactures don't keep parts for these models because most of us have locomotives over 20 years old and these axle gears seem to be a problem for a lot of different models. I have replaced at least 60 axle gears on Athearn and proto locomotives and even had to replace some on BLI steam locomotives.
The part is 807301 and there is nothing else that I have found that will work.
