Re-motoring a HO Gilbert Corp.-American Flyer 4-6-4, chugger in tender

HELP !!!!!!!!!!! Years ago my father bought me a HO 4-6-4 Hudson Gilbert Corp. American Flyer steamer with a chugger in the tender. The armature is burnt out and I really would like to have the steamer running again. I either need the name of someone or some place that could do this for me or re-motor it.

You could probably have it rewound and preserve the original integrity of the engine for about the same amount as it would cost you to remotor it.

If AF HO engines run anything like my AF S gauge engines, you should be more than satisfied with its performance.
