One of the locomotives I dusted off this Christmas was my very first from childhood, a Tyco F9 from 1977. I tuned it up but unfortunately one of the gears on the "power-torque" truck is missing a few teeth and it doesn't run very smoothly. Any idea where I can get a replacement? Seems like there must be a million of these old trucks around, but I don't know where to begin finding one. If anybody on the forum has a lead, please let me know. I know Tyco's are "cheap toys" as far as model trains go, but for old time's sake I'd love to get the locomotive back on its feet. Of course my 2 Athearns of the same vintage run like a dream. Amazing the difference in quality.
