    Every P2K 4 axle loco, I have, I replace those gears, on ALL wheelsets,as a matter of course.They arent expensive, & they are really easy to do.Most of their 4 axle locos have the Athearn style, setup.Great locos, especially for their age.Cheers.

    If you use a nmra guave it helps and is easier to be sure it is in gauge. Thanks

    If I don't have replacement gears I do a hot water wash with Dawn dish soap. After the parts are dry. I take locktite super glue and regular sewing 🧵 thread. I used the thread to hold it closed while glue dries. Also to keep them from re cracking I sometimes put glue on thread to keep it from opening back up.

    Walthers does sell the axles with the axle already on it as a drop in for these locos.

    Every P1K and P2K I ever owned had this problem as the plastic ages. EZ fix.

    You might also use an NMRA wheel gauge.

    Delrin plastic ( POM) is too oily for any super glue to fix the gear permanently. Some have claimed usung the old baking
    soda mix trick to the superglue with some success. Personally I just replace them with NOS and you can still find A-Line #40005 as a sub replacement.

    IF you don't have a Gauge handy use a piece of track sure better than guessing.

      Exactly, that was what I thought. Check elite194's Channel. There are videos about fixing cracked gears. Look for "5 locomotives in 30 days parte 10 cracked and split axle repair"
