Not necessary once I perfect how to bore the OE gear and have it mount on the Pittman shaft with ease. Most importantly, be able to repeat the process over and over again...That’s why I’d like to have just a couple more worm gears for this locomotive on hand before I start the process.....if I slip up, the project grinds to a halt till I find another.......at the moment, I only have one......but I’d figure to have such a gear made would be pretty cost prohibitive. Especially since once we perfect the bore, we’ll be using the OE gear over every time.......Pat
