Joe, FYI Lionel driveline parts work. Motor, flywheel, motor mount, dog bones even worm shafts, not sure but it might be the Lionel Dreyfuss shaft has the same worm. Pat knows for sure. Then its just a PS3 kit and bobs your uncle. My MTH FEF parts donor has a Lionel drive.

The Lionel Dreyfuss Hudson, N&W class A, and early C&O Allegheny all have wormshafts that will work with MTH locomotives. The bearings may need to be changed to the flanged type but that's about it. Those Lionel models were basically carbon copies of their MTH counterparts (involved in the MTH/Lionel lawsuit).

As far as that Northern goes the Premier SP GS Northern wormshaft should work fine. My Premier SP GS4, GS6, ATSF 2900 class, and UP FEF all have the GS wormshaft in them. Drops right in.
