Is it a gem or a pig in a polk?

Once I built a railroad, I made it run,
Made it race against time.
Once I built a railroad, now it's done --
Brother, can you spare a dime?

Yes, there is a NWSL upgrade, but I'll probably go with Jay Criswell's Right O Way for axle sets. P&D and Des Plaines Hobbies are also available options.

Tom, the original gears were plastic. The NWSL gears are metal, and should last longer - as well as not being as prone to splitting.

Re: Is it a gem or a pig in a polk?
There is half a million threads about these gears. new plastic gears are fine. Run an 1875 fluted ream through each axle gear and press them on. If i have mentioned the wrong size ream I'm sure somebody will chime in with the correct size.
