Getting back into hobby after almost 40 years. Have all of my original Tyco trains and have been picking up some stuff off of Facebook Marketplace.
In a box I got off of Facebook Marketplace, I got a Clementine Gold Mine and car.
I guess this had been in an attic at one time and the Rubber Conveyor Belt was hard as a rock and broke apart.
Does anybody know of a replacement for this?
I have tried searching but can not find anything. Found some articles that looked promising, but the link did not work.

Thank you

Welcome aboard!

Here is what found from another site. Hope it helps.

1)
Okay, so tonight I measured my Clementine Conveyor, and here are the results:
Distance between belt's teeth = less than 1/2 inch
Height of conveyor support (minus support base) = about 1 & 1/2 inches

2)
I've been told a Lionel 397 coal loader belt will do. Requires a little work but can be done.

I don't know if the above actually work, but am putting it out here in hopes that it proves useful.

Well, I'm not a new member, I was here before as badman55. I closed out the original email account long ago and was unable to transfer the account to the new one.
