HELP!! Need Brass engine mechanic

[NW Modeling List]

I recently bought a NWSL W2 and the Pilliod-Baker Gear looks like it's  
been messed with.  I have tried to get it to work around corners where  
it binded.  It looks like some parts were missing.  Can anybody  
suggest a really good shop/person to fix it?  I really don't want to  
backdate it to Stephenson gear....  I like the Baker-Pilliod gear.

I have owned many of these engines and have painted close to 25 of  
them for others. I have never found one that didn't run well. They can  
be noisy as the open gearbox tends to be noisy but every one I've had  
experience with was smooth running and well made. Toby did a good job  
on them. They were well detailed at the time they were introduced but  
some details are dated and could stand being replaced. The class  
lights are the worst detail as far as I'm concerned.

I personally think the E-2 class was a handsome engine and better  
looking than any Pennsy K4 or the N&W E-3.

Enjoy!
