When MDC changed these models to can motors, they used a small Sagami can motor. Now, I think they went back to an open frame motor. Email MDC to see if they have recommendations. Another posibility is NWSL, they may have a drop in motor/gear box replacement for your locomotives. <br /> <br />It's my opinion the noise comes from the fact that everything is mounted solid, with metal parts. If a plastic motor mount could be fabricated, I think this would help. <br /> <br />
