between north west short line and allelectronics i still cannot find what i'm looking for.
the gear drive is not for any scale or engine-- i'm using them to drive conveyors and snake lines on my logging modules., and other slow moving items

Take a look at these:

Run this one at 6 volts, and it will give you around 20 rpm.

Run this one at 4 volts, and it will give you around 20 rpm.

Try Jameco Electronics at www.jameco.com. They list gearhead motors in 12 and 24 VDC.
