LGB Track Cleaner Drive Gears

[electricity_bill]

Hello
Does any one know of a source for replacement plastic drive gears on my LGB track cleaner? Failing that, can you get entire replacement axles?

Chalk Garden Rail supplied me with a whole new axle when a screw sheared off in mine. It came with new bearings and crown gear. https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&r...y46hZrYIDpi1DEpCg&sig2=3T3FaE5eQ4w88MTvjNBwkA

The gears have failed again. I see lots of posts on eBay for the gears from the LGB Mogul. Will they fit?

If a new gear was only obtained and fitted in February, and now it's failed again, I'd look for the root cause before replacing it again - there's obviously something wrong there (or else the replacement was duff in some way, in which case I'd speak to whoever you got it from?).
Sorry, have no idea about the actual question of whether the Mogul gears will fit....

Have you tried Train-Li ?

I would suggest that something is wrong. Either it has a fault or you are using it incorrectly. Mine gets regular use over about 7 years now and i have replaced the cleaning wheels once.
It suggests that your gears are not meshing correctly - is the motor installed fully, is the base plate fully home.
I assume you have not added weight to it?
How long do you run it in cleaning mode - minutes, - a few minutes, - hours?

That link from Sean looks interesting - have not seen the full axle spare before.

How has the gear 'failed' please? - Perhaps a picture?
