hi chaps, today I took out a battery locomotive I am trying to sort out. I have fitted a 750w motor which works well. However the old bevel gears which look like they came from an old hand drill make a lot of noise and have a lot of wear. Can anyone please let me know of a company that I can purchase new gears from. Also is it normal for bevel gears to make a sort of rumble noise when in use, which is a bit to noisy for my liking. Thanks

I think I saw such gears offered by a supplier called Belts-on-line.

They offered all sorts of gears in many different sizes.

Might be worth a try.

It's actually belting online they are quite reasonably priced and gears will be fine for your use.

Depending on size, replacement angle grinder ones are helical bevel gears and stupidly cheap, and although most angle grinders 'shriek' they are pretty quiet at loco-driving speeds.
