Dead 009 railcar

 


This tiny 1.75" long railcar has been running around various 009 layouts for a decade. A marriage between a Parkside coach, an Arnold Kof 3 and a few scraps of plastic. A test came up with a fail. Dead, no buzz, no nothing.  Disassembly found no problems with gears or electrical contacts. The motor though was another story and seemed to have self destructed inside.  Not particularly urgent, but now I've found a problem it would be nice to sort it. Tramfabrik do a replacement motor kit, but this seems to be for earlier models/chassis shapes in the 206X range, whereas this is a 2070 model as far as I can ascertain.

  1. Nice little railcar, though I don't remember having seen it in reality.
    It's probably worth asking Sven about it anyway...for one thing, the kit for the 206x range may fit, and even if not he may be able to come up with something. Quite agree on getting it working. Perhaps another avenue might be the 009 Sales team? I know they have spares for a lot of things.
