I would recommend a google search for 'g scale power trucks'. Possibly adding the words 'near me'. Power trucks are easily available from several companies and some local hobby shops, at least here in the US anyway. I did a quick search and found half a dozen sources here in California. Shipping from here to you could run the price extreamly high. Alternate option, if your hobby shop carries the LGB Hand Car, you might give a thought into stripping it down for your build.
