Brushless motor are generally too large for HO loco's. Plus you would have to find mounting space for the controller. Maybe some day a brushless motor suitable for HO will become available. They are also several times the price of our current 'can' motors. Do not confuse brushless motors with coreless. Not the same. A coreless motor is about the same size as the brushless. An earlier post commented on skewed motors not having as much torque as a non skewed motor and therefore not suitable for larger scale. However larger scale locos have room for much larger diameter motors. And the larger diameter does have a positive affect on torque.
