Cisco KidIn the meantime, is there another supplier of a similar part that fits the Bachmann gear shafts which look pretty standard?

I recently replaced several wobbly shafts in some of my older Proto locomotives. There were enough parts in the 12030 kits to replace what I needed.
My only Bachmann diesel is an Alco S2 and I've never had it opened up but if the drive line is anything like what you see in the above link, I think you'll find the parts you need.
I think I bought mine from one of the Ebay sellers, but I'm sure there's other sources.
Good Luck, Ed
In the past I've found Bachmann to be slow on the draw with emails but extremely helpful on the phone. Worth a call; the last time i needed a siderod nut for an Fn3 mudhen i ended up with the entire siderod assembly and only had to pay shipping.
Good luck
