Actually that's the same setup as the original 28086 h10/9 from 2001.
The only difference being the extra gears and shaft on the legacy version.
On the tmcc version, if the worm wears out you change it. If the axle gear wears out you change out the whole axle with the gear on it, fairly easy.
It's the gears in between pressed on the intermediate shaft that ride in bushings pressed into the frame that cannot be replaced, or at least....not easily. Which brings us back to the k4 situation.
I have a way to go yet to reach retirement when I can really enjoy my trains.i.e. kids will all be grown, etc.
I'm confident my nearly 15 year old tmcc Mohawk will still be running at that time. It's gearbox is as tight as the day I bought it ,as is my first run legacy M1b and pm berk.
The new legacy with the extra gears, I dunno.
