These are 4-wheel trucks. I've seen at least half a dozen different truck designs for Lionel diesels, I'm not sure how many models used this gear set. This is, of course, one of the truck designs that requires you to disassemble the entire truck to remove it. I have a whole bag of screws. The bummer is, I assembled it all after using the retaining compound and I thought I was done. I was looking for the binding in the other gears cleaning everything. I finally realized that something was amiss with the drive gear and with close examination I found the crack in the brass gear.
