Replacement gear for BLI J

[NW Modeling List]

Dutch,

My guess is that you might be facing the same dilemma as I was in finding a replacement gear for my Paragon 1 Class A.  BLI advised me that the drivetrain for the Class A beginning with Paragon 2 engines had been redesigned and they did not have any internal drive parts for Paragon 1 Class A’s.  

As a result, my least favorite option became my only option of repairing the gear with JB Weld.  I hope you can find a gear, but if you can’t I would be glad to share more detail with you on how I repaired my Class A if it would help.

Cheers,
Chris Dalton
