Possibly there may be some that would help, or could be adapted by drilling out axle holes etc. For examples, by searching for “model gear kit” on Ebay:

Our club was given a few locos and each was in poor repair, some members were determined to get them running and put countless hours in unsuccessfully to a loco that in good 2nd hand condition could be picked up for $30- / $40- at any swap meet. Some things are not built to last forever, and though I have many good running Bachmann DCC locos they are not the Rolls Royce of the modelling world.

Flat gears are easy to make with just a file and small drill, plus you can make them from brass and they will last a life time.

Try NWSL (Northwest Short Line). They usually have all kind of gears.
