Hi everyone,

I recently purchased some more Hornby O gauge items for my collection, and thought somebody else here might be interested.

The first item is a very rare 1936 M0 Mixed Goods train set. Costing 7/6 in 1937, the set contained the smallest oval of track known to man, as well as a clockwork loco and 3 goods wagons. The loco included was the cheapest in the Hornby series, and so had no reverse or front coupling.






The next is a 1948 E502 loco. Only exported to countries such as Australia and Argentina, it was the only electric O gauge engine produced by Hornby after WW2. As such, it is also fairly rare and desirable. Obviously, mine is missing its tender and coupling rods (which I can source), however, what I can't find a replacement for is the gear that sits on the armature shaft, mine of which is completely stripped. If you know where I can get another one of these gears, then I would be very interested.



Regards
Peter

Very nice set but a bit too modern for my liking.
I only run Trix Express from 1935.

Hi Jacques, sorry for the delay.

It looks like the gear is cut into the shaft and is not a separate part. Would it still be possible to make a replacement?

I've attached some pictures below which show the problem and some measurements. Also, the gear has 8 teeth and is the part outlined in red in the diagram.






Thanks
Peter
