Gears

[krokodil]

Hi

I have a problem with gears size specification. I know how the gears are specified in Europe (modul and teeth) but no idea how do you do it in oversea or what does it mean e.g. 48 DP.


Thank you for your help.

Thank you. It looks interesting.

I downloaded the pages and will study.

In the US the premier supplier of gears for model railroad use is North West Short Line www.nwsl.com Their catalog has a ton of information on gearing. You can get their catalog in PDF format at their web site or if you want to browse it on line go to http://catalogs.google.com/catalogs?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&issue=11182&catpage=cover
