Good to know I wasn't the only one filing them down by hand.
My lathe may arrive before I do the other Niagara.
This post inspired me to fix the one sitting on my workbench last night.
It was much easier than I thought; the second will be a breeze.
The gears were really chewed up:
I used the brass gears from Lionel but I also have the delrin gears from NWSL.
