sprocket chain for No. 97 Lionel caol elvator

[San Jose]

Hi Lionel users:

I bought a No. 97 coal elevator and unbeknownst to me, the chain is too tight, too much of a load for the motor.  It seems that it's short one sprocket. 

Any thoughts about how to fix this without  having to buy a new chain/bucket part?

Thanks in advance for any advice on this.
