It's beautiful and I'm sure you'll find a gear. A machinist with a lathe can make one.

I found a set on eBay searching that part number. They don’t appear to have a snap ring groove on the shaft, but I’ll just use my old shafts if need be.

From my memories of my Dad servicing these when I was young the gear teeth get very worn on all the gears. Replacing just one gear may not sort out whatever problems you have that is ccausing you to want to replace this one.

I agree with Alan, take a detailed look at all the gears, if one is worn out many of the others won’t be far behind. And putting a new gear in mesh with old worn gears will accelerate further wear.
I have found with the old locos of that vintage, replacing all the gears, the armature, and the driving wheels results in a beautiful running loco.
If you are struggling to find gears, try Ritter restorations.
Cheers…
Mike

Unsolicited plug for AC Eurotrains. I was very happy with their service on my 3047.
