Replacement gears for TEE sets

[Anadin Dogwalker]

Asking for my dad; he has a pair of Lima RAe/RABe TEE/Eurocity sets. The latter is getting around on three intact gears in the power car while the earlier version has all 4 cracked. Any ideas on sourcing replacements? I believe he's tried Peters Spares to no avail.

Hello Neill, sb-modellbau seem to offer a replacement service with brass gears:

According to the small print, the offer seems only to be valid together with a replacement motor, although you may want to check that for yourself.

 

I vaguely remember that we had a set of TEE axles fixed by Eberhard Stauss of Birr (AG), but that must have been at least ten years ago. He used to run an add in the Eisenbahn Amateur, if I find a current one I can relate the details to you.

 

Alternatively you could try Ricardo and Ebay for "Lima" "ersatzteil" "zahnräder".

 

Best wishes

Thank you so much Christian. I have forwarded the link to my Dad. Neither my German nor Google translate is good enough to establish for certain whether its just the axle and gear and you have to re-use the original wheels (which I think is the case) or its a complete wheelset. Any thoughts?

SB-Modellbau will re-use the old axles, however they state „only in conjunction with 21028 or 21015“, both being complete motorising sets with a new motor. I‘ve tried Google once more and found that Wemoba of Pieterlen make their own replacement gear, which should be available independently:

They also supply symetric gears for other Lima models.
