Yes;

What you want is a Helix Humper from Alliance Locomotive:

Can-type motor for Mantua locos?
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, November 24, 2002 7:27 PM
I recently purchased an old Mantua prarie-type locomotive in HO scale, but it is really noisy! What kind of can motor could be easily adaptable to this model without a lot of re-gearing? Thanks!
