Trying to complete this set for my son for Christmas. Need the new Helicopter As pictured.
Also the gear has a crack does epoxy or super glue work best? Also can you buy replacement gears?
The building that runs the helicopter is loud too can this be rebuilt to quiet it?
You could try to glue the gear but it may still slip since the crack will be a bit farther apart. Best that you replace it. Gears can be easily found cheaply on Amazon or Ebay.
I guess the Helicopter building is prone to being noisy. I don't have any experience with one myself but the one on Muddy Poppins Layout seems to always be noisy in all his videos when a train passes by.
there is an identical station except the platform is yellow also has the Harold the helicopter as well. I forgot which set that station came from.

Super, I must be looking for it wrong. I too need some gears. Can you send us a link please?
EDIT: I assume US ebay may be different as I limit my search to UK. But found gear tooths on Jauce quite cheap. The question now is what's the use for 12 and 14 tooth? Am I right thinking the 12 tooth are standard drive axle gears?

Also Talk n Action Engines are extremely delicate so he careful with them when they're in your son's hands.
Thanks for the help with the gears!
Anyone have a lead on Harold!? Also I need the blue plow for Thomas anyone have an extra I’ll pay!!
Found the gears but they will not come till after xmas. Does anyone have a surplus in the US that I could buy a few and email you a shipping label?
