What size drive belt for Hollywood Foundry Mashima/Dapol Railbus chassis?

[vitalspark]

We have a Dapol railbus/Hollwwood foundry chassis running on our exhibition layout 'Alloa' however the drive belt is slipping and needs replaced.

 

We had a spare belt with this chassis when supplied but we have used this and I failed to measure the new belt unstretched length.

Existing and out of shape belt is approx 12mm but from memory the original was considerably less.

 

They are truly excellent chassis and run beautifully but the belt seems to last approx 1 year.

I will obviously drop 'Hollywood' a mail if I can't source any locally.

 

We are due to exhibit at Railex Aylesbury so need to source replacement soon.

 

Thanks in advance.

I would send an email to Hollywood ASAP.  I couldn't find an equivalent from my usual industrial sources here in the USA. I'd be delighted if one was found, but I don't have high hopes.
