LGB LCE 'upgrade parts' anyone?

[Ianjd59]

I'm trying to get hold of the 'upgrade parts' for my LGB LCE (Ice Train), this is essentially a kit of bits to enable the fitting of a second motor to the train. It is an official LGB part (#L66095) that the importers still list, but none of the normally excellent suppliers I deal with have it or can give me idea when they might be able to get it. Does anyone have any good contacts in Germany perhaps? Or have one sitting on the shelf even??
Regards, Ian.

If you cannot find one, make your own. Find a train set Stainz on ebay at a good price. Take the motor block out, remove the wheels & everything else attached. Fit the wheels from the non powered LCE bogie & you have an upgrade.

if you are struggling you can look out for a second hand LCE, tend to go for circa £130 and you'll get a middle car too. Thats what I did.

or you could buy this one with 2 motors already in and swap one over for your non powered bogie then sell it on might be a cheap way of getting a powered bogie?

Thanks for this one, I'm convinced I'd looked in GRC, but obviously not! They're showing one in stock, so let's see what happens...
