Among my roster, I have a pair of older On3 brass2-6-0 locos originally built with open frame motors located in the tender, with driveshaft connecting the tender motor to the mechanisn in the 'locomotive'. There is room to mount a modern micromotor or gearhead motor in the smokebox area, direct coupled to the worm grear drive on the center driver. I was hoping someone here could recomend a website or hobbyshop that specialises in high quality motors for remotoring. I need to see specs for size, shafts, RPM, etc. to allow me to choose a motor that will fit. None of my local hobby shops carry much of an inventory.....I tried all of them first, and struck out. FYI, although these engines are O scale, 3 foot narrow gauge engines are small,...and among that group, these are smaller than average, being 188os vintage Brooks prototype. Also, trains are short. A micromotor sized for HO would be plenty of power, even overkill. They will be DCC controlled, and sound will be installed in the tender. Thanks in advance, Jennifer
