Hi all.
I am also after the motion units from an 009 ibertren chassis. I have a chassis with working motor driving the wheels but there are no coupling or connecting rods or slide bars etc. with it so it looks a little blank. It for a Meridian 'Talyllyn' that is currently under construction on my workbench.

Try dropping a line to Alan Hamer who does the repairs for 009 Sales and has lots of spare parts:

Please be aware that when these Ibertren chassis ware they tend to jump the gears making the axles go out of quartering with each other causing the coupling rods to jam.
So, you need to make sure that there is not too much play in the axles or the gear wheels.
In addition, the slide bars clip into place in a slot in the plastic contact plate. If this slot has been cut away and there is nothing to hold the slide bars in place you will find the pins for the rods will fall out the rear wheels.

Thanks for that David. I will give him a try.

Hi Brian. Thanks for the info.
I suppose one answer to that problem would be to remove the coupling rods and just leave the con rods to the slidebars as the wheels are driven by the motor not the piston.
