Is there any parts availability for the LGB Forney gears or is it headed for the trash can? It only has about 10 hours on it!
Doug try Train Li http://www.train-li-usa.com/store/repair-parts-c-84_98.html?osCsid=ed79b0acb1151842961db25ac969c665 I bet you can get one from them. Im sure you can get a gear that would match your current one. I know Kevin Strong did an article a while back about replacing gears.
LGB is releasing a new Forney this year, maybe, hopefully they will have parts?
It’s headed for the trash can. 
I’ll pay to have it shipped to mine. 
Doug,
I have a sh$%load of LGB gears, axles, etc. All new.
Take the motor cover off and show me what you need.
Here’s what the Forney looked like when I opened it up. Both axle gears are stripped. Can I buy some?

The motor gears look and feel fine. Do the axle gears normally strip on one side like these did?
You’re wasting my woodstove lighters Rooster!
Will any of this work?
Most of these are the old style axles, that you screw the wheels on.
John, I’ll see if I can get those axles apart so we can see what we are looking at. are those gears pressed on?
Yes, the nylon gears are already pressed on. I’m sure there is something in that pile that will work.
The forney axle gear is the same one that is used on the LGB stainz.
The pix above shows axles with straight cuts on the gears and these must mate with an idler gear.
The Forney and Stainz do not have idler gears and the axle gear must have an angle cut to match the motor worm gear.
You need to press off a wheel and bad gear and install the replacement gear, then install the wheel in the proper quartered position. What is quartered? A 90 degree offset (a circle is 360 degrees, thus 90 is a quarter of a circle).
This axle gear is a stocked item at Train-Li-usa.com.
