I recently got a pre Walthers/Life Like Proto E9 cheap and now I think I know why. 5 of the 6 axle gears were cracked. Bought the Athearn replacement gears (#60024) and they do not match at all. The Athearn gears are bigger in size, the hole for the axle is too small to insert axle, and has 12 teeth instead of 11 as on the originals. I've been trying to contact Walthers.
It sounds like the Athearns work for the 4 axle Proto's. Do the 6 axle Proto's use smaller/different gears? If Walthers can't help me, what are my options?
