Reply to "Burned out motor for MTH USRA Premier. Seeking new motor..."

If the supply chain is anything like that used by the Navy, you won't see a maker knock out a couple of hundred extra motors.  They'll be asking for a minimum quantity in the thousands or tens of thousands, probably why MTH hasn't got them yet, the demand hasn't yet met the need to reproduce.  Of course they could triple the price and make only a 1/3 of the minimum they're looking at.  Again, doubt it's high on MTHs priority list.

It surprises me at the number of different types and sizes of can motors used in our trains.  The motor inside my Bachmann G-scale 4-6-0 isn't any bigger (may be smaller) than the one in this 0-6-0.

Without knowing the data on a motor and gear ratio like what's in the 0-6-0, it's almost impossible to find a substitute.
