This Kato-style motor is available:

Might work.

 

 

These use to look exactly like the Kato HM5 motors.  Not sure why they changed the style. (my ebay purchase history links to the quoted motors now if I were to re-buy the HM5 looking ones)

Anyhow, I purchased 40 of the original style assuming they would "disapear" from availability at some point. 

I used them in my most egregious Athearn RTR's (couple SD50 coffee grinders and a couple SD40T-2 clickers) and they all are whisper quiet with the Kato knock offs. I use them along with A-Line hex flywheels (exact same as Athearns).

If the quoted ones are as smooth and quiet as the previous style, these motors are very nice.

Another month and a half since the last post and still no word. the Tnetocury.com website also seems to no longer be registered. I've been poking around looking for a low cost motor to repower some AHM/Mehano units and various Blue Boxes. Got all excited about the Mabuchi only to learn they've been gone for six months. I wonder if it's for similar reasons to the general electronics supply problems?

Uh Yeah. After an investigation Pay Pal refunded my money. 

I did get these however will see how they do.

Had to take the outer metal cover off to fit but I don't even know why it's there.

Anyone else use these motors?

Is that a Mibuchi? Can't quite tell from the listing, but it looks like it's a little slower than an Athearn stock....not per se' a bad thing. This one might also work https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001982757024.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.1000023.6.24d53c0fpZXHjw

I have a pair of those motors on order off eBay due late next month.  It is slightly larger than the Mabuchi but very close to the specs.

No it isn't a Mabuchi. It was all I could find at the time that was close and had dual shafts. Ordered some of the FK-280SA-14200 from Amazon  twice and got single shafted Mabuchi Motors. They refunded the money and let me keep the 3 motors not sure what I will do with them.
