Problem to rotate spur gears in assembly

I want to rotate the Disk around axis of GearA (see the attached picture) which will transfer the rotation move to Gear B. The Gear B then should rotate the Gear C.

If I rotate the Disk, the gears B and C does not rotate.

If I rotate the Gear B, it rotates correctly around Gear A, but Gear C does not rote correctly with respect to Gear B.

How to rotate correctly all gears? 

Attached is also P&G file (zipped) with all parts.

Of course, there are used constrains.

Gear A is fixed - it does not rotate or move.

The Disk has 3 holes. Central hole mates to Z axis of the fixed Gear A, so the Disk can rotate only. The other 2 holes are used for mating to Gear B and Gear C.

Z axix of the Gear B mates to the hole B, and Z axis of the Gear C mates to the hole C. So, the gears B and C can rotate arount Z axis, and also make "planetary movement" around the fixed Gear A (by rotating the Disk).

Gear B has rotation constrain to the fixed Gear A in ratio 0.5.

Gear C has rotation constrain to the Gear B with ratio 1.

The problem:

If I pick the Disk and rotate it, gears B and C does not rotate to each other.

If I pick the Gear B, it rotates correctly around the fixed Gear A, but the Gear C does not rotate.

If I pick the Gear C, it rotates incorrectly with respect to the the Gear B, and also the Gear B rotates incorectly with the Gear A.

I have to rotate the Disk and transfer rotation of the Gear B (which is relative to the fixed Gear A) to the Gear C.

I think it will be more clear if you will download and open the assembly to see how bad it works. 

Just one more comment - the Gear C is not in conflict with the fixed Gear A, it is above it.
