I think, Chris, you were among those gluing them in place. Here is a note on your solution (from a thread about the Bachmann version, but there is discussion of the Kato problem starting with postings on January 10, 2014)

EDIT- I thought that link would point to message #28 in that thread, but it goes to the top of the page  (at least on my browser)- so scroll down to #28.

This is a link to message 28:

To get a link to a particular message you right click on the subject line of that message, then copy link.

 I want to say "THANK YOU"for all the idea's and suggestions concerning the drive gear problem with the N scale Kato NW2 locomotive.
 
 I took the suggestion of super gluing the gear to the drive axle and applied it to My locomotive. After waiting 24 hours for the super glue to cure out and reassembling the locomotive carefully. I am saying with great Joy the problem is solved, the locomotive runs!!!
 
 From now on I will only operate the locomotive with a max of five (5) cars during an switching operation to keep the motor from working to hard.

If it pops loose again. I would try roughing up the smooth shaft right where the gear goes. It will give it some tooth for the glue to stick.
