Hi Guys,
this is definately not my week! after the problem with my Grafar Duchess (resolved) and my Minitrix Flying Scotsman(resolved) I now have to replace the drive cog on my Grafar Crab! Can anyone help, do I simply pull the valvegear off the pins on the wheels and hten pull the wheels off the axle? or are they screw fitted someway? sorry to be such a pratt, but i'm learning if slowly.

Regards Mike

Hi Mike,

Personally I wouldn't bother. I had the same problem with a little GF 0-6-0 and I simply ordered a new set of wheels, pre-quartered and with a factory fitted drive cog from the GF web site spares page. Cost - a fiver.

They were despatched by post the same day.
