Need a gear made

[ScaleCraft]

We finally got the failed original back for a sample.

Prefer steel, not aluminum as original.

MTH copy of pre-war Flyer Standard Gauge, 4695 4-4-2.
I have sample and photos. Has a hub for pressing onto shaft. Spur drive, like Lionel steam was.

large gear is approximately 1-7/16” diameter and has 50 teeth.
Any idea where to go?

Thanks

I know nothing about gear hobbing, but I would look for a hobbyist with a gear hobbing attachment. Or maybe buy one for a friend with a lathe.

Older train gears are standard parts, and for lots of $ Boston Gear will probably sell you one.

Raoul at NWSL was known to make a special gear now and then.

I found this tedious, but all the info is there. Three parts.
Google "gear hobbing"

There is a good chance that the gear is indeed standard, but it may be metric.

Dave: I can look into this but need the pitch diameter, which is approximately mid-tooth to mid-tooth. Also, it is important that the gear count is accurate, so double check that if it's not too tedious.
