Walthers Turntable #3171

Has anyone figured out how to get the gear teeth on the large gear to mesh with the gears on the motor of the Walthers 90 foot turntable table without a major reconstruction job? I drilled a hole through the motor cover and can see the gears clearly now. They simply do not mesh so the bridge turns poorly if at all. Additionally, the motor gear shaft has some slack which allows the bridge to move as soon as a locomotive moves on to it with derailments resulting. Are there any workable solutions for making this product work or should I just give up. Walthers admits the gear wheel may be warped but does not admit that the bridge does not work properly.
