Replacement gear for BLI J

[NW Modeling List]

 That is the second option, find an adhesive specifically for nylon follow the direction, clamp the gear together, and smooth surface and clean out any in the between the teeth.

 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 Bluefield, WV

Interesting
They supplied me with a new gear within the last 2 years or so

  Try NWSL, you will need to know the number of teeth, diameter, and the bore of the gear or the axle diameter in mm.
I have been doing this for my old brass locomotives for years.

 I have not one, but two Broadway Limited Paragon ”1” J’s that now have broken gears. BLI’s website states that they no longer service or support these older (2001~2007) locos and NWSL has informed me they have not made replacements gears for these either.
Does anyone know if replacement gears for these are available from someone else?
