One of the British manufacturers had a similar problem. One firm is now supplying replacement bushes for the axles.
If you measure the stub axle diameter and other sizes, I'll compare to the bits I have. They also made a replacement geared axle -- can you measure that and count the teeth?
(On mine, I have 3 0-6-0Ts, and not enough whole axles to get one running.)
The gear is a 24T, .52" (13.3mm) OD and .06" (1.5mm) wide, and the shaft is also .38" long, .15" (3.9mm) around, fitting a 2mm shaft. I think this NWSL gear is essentially it, with some small errors in measurement creeping in: http://shop.osorail.com/product.sc?produ...egoryId=97
I found the shapeways guy on a different forum and sent him a pm, but he hasn't responded yet, so I may need to join Shapeways to email him. I have to say, square shafts would make getting the quartering correct much easier...
