Gears and chains

[planty]

I'm looking to build a simple track clearer (not cleaner, clearer. something to clear twigs, leaves etc from the track).

The idea is a flat bed truck with a circular brush at the front driven by a small electric motor that will spin and brush away the debris.

I'm after a supplier for cogs, gears, chains etc that would drive an axle through the brush and attach via chain to the motor. Thought about lego technics but anyone know of any brass or similar that are available?

Have you looked at Meccano parts, eBay has lot's available...

Not quite meccano bought, but the idea and eBay search took me to a place to get some simple "Robot parts" which should do the trick

The Robot Shop is has a good selection - you might want to consider timing belts as an alternative.
