G'day everyone,
May I access the groups collective wisdom and experience? I am
designing a gearbox for a scratchbuilt loco, and wonder-what is the
best material combination for the gears? The Krauss I have appears
to be mild steel on brass (Romford), my old N scale is all
plastic/nylon (bachmann), I've seen metal worms on plastic
wheels...I am looking for a quiet mech with reasonable wear
characteristics. Its only a small 0-4-0.
Thanks in advance,
Mark K
