116's posted gearbox uses this method of meshing the gears. If you use light gears and take the time to file down the teeth a bit where they mesh, it works fine.

If you don't take the time to file down the teeth, when the gears do not mesh, they'll end up flattening their teeth by rubbing against one another. After a bit of this, they won't ever mesh. Then you'll need to go in and file like you should've done in the first place.
