It's Walthers Part # 272-180629.
The motor is taller than the stock Lionel motor so you'll need to fabricate a new housing. Basically you something that is just slightly larger than the motor. I found a travel size shampoo bottle at the grocery store that was the perfect size once I cut the top off. You'll need to add some sort of padding around the motor to hold it in place (I used these foam stickers my kids have but electrical tape wrapped around would also work). Once you have the motor it will make more sense on how it all goes together. Strongly suggest taking the motor with you to the store and looking at travel sized shampoo bottles. I converted mine last Fall and it's been working great ever since.
There's a whole thread on this located here: https://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/t...59#21984675509108359
Several other forum members helped figure this out. It's a good afternoon project.
