Those are clearly 48.90:1 gears visible there in the photo. But, they should be 58.30:1 in order to work correctly with the tracks, as shown with the larger master links, which makes them 90.0" long, axle to axle, X 16.600" wide. Original would have been 75.0" long, axle to axle, X 16.550" wide.
If you continue to hot rod like this, you risk blowing the lock rings on your bogies or over revving the flyball governor.
