[CBQ] Re: Overland Models CB&Q B-1A

Ken--I won't be much help here, but you might try Overland. I owned a couple of 
B1As and one of them came with a replacement gear that I thought the prior 
owner said was supplied by Overland, perhaps in conjunction with NWSL. I 
switched out the gears, but I can't tell you after all these years what the 
difference was between the original and the replacement. Regardless, it seemed 
to solve the problem as I recall. Overland could at least set you straight on 
the origin of the replacement and who knows, maybe they have some of the gears.
