Just information I want to save and pass along, I had success with the life like Walthers replacement axels. Am purchasing a used GP -18 with the problem and after searching found them in stock at Blue Ox Trains. They only charge 3.95 for shipping. The parts cost about $14.00. They are out of stock at Walthers.
Part number 584408. They have 18 sets in stock. They sell the wheels and gear together.
Athearn has the gear only ATH60024, also shows in stock at Horizon Hobby. They charge 2.99 shipping and the part is 6.98. That part is reported to work as well.
If you want gears only go with Athearn, if you want to replace the axles as well, Blue Ox.
