I'm looking for sources for replacement motors to repower a brass HO 4-6-4 steam locomotive. I found a 20 X 32 motor from NWSL but the stall current is rated at 1.7 amps. Isn't that too much for the Tsunami decoder I plan to use? I've done some searching but haven't been able to find any.
Any help will be appreciated.
The Tsunami is 1 amp peak.

Micro-Loco Motion has a good selection of motors. He also sells them on ebay. I have bought directly from him and a couple from him via ebay.

Others will no doubt have sources

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.
Greenway products has some can motors. They also have motor and gear case assemblies.

I pray every day I break even, Cause I can really use the money!
I started with nothing and still have most of it left!
Did you email Dave at NWSL and ask him for a suggestion? He has helped me before.
Thank you all for your replies and links.
But I wish they would give you more information on each motor so you wouldn't have to email to get more specs on them.

Dude, think about this. No company I know of advertises a locked rotor current spec. Usually a running no load current.
