I think the large end pops off with a lot of force, you could pop it off, take it to a spline shop and have them cut and respline it, but for just a train at 5mph... balancing is not going to be an issue. the thing I'm worried about is I think it's cast iron... at least it's high nickle content STRONG stuff. not sure if it can be welded or not.
I don't think it's forged... I think it's cast, and lathe turned to size. there is a weld of some sort where the boots rest, and another in the center... woldn't hurt to ask a welder their opinion.
I'm a gas pipe welder, and I'd not tackle it. all ya gots to worry about with gas pipe is leaks!
