That’s what I had around. It cost me about $10 new. I’m nearing retirement so I have to watch my budget. I would have preferred a 12 or 15v motor, but could find no source for a motor in that range for less than $60 delivered. You have some you want to sell?😉

Unfortunately, no Im so flooded with Pittman swaps, I’ve got to keep what I have on hand for jobs, however, get a hold of me and I can put you on the path of some 12 volt motors that are a lot cheaper than 60 to your door, …..also Lionel’s half price sale is on, so you can also search there,……the problem with some of the 24 volt motors is they won’t be in their power band when running so you’d notice considerable slowing in curves and grades,…you’ll find as you do more upgrades that motors and gear boxes coupled with driver diameters will affect where a motor runs it’s best, makes the best power, and provides smooth performance,…..I’ve found some 69” driver locomotives with 18 or 19 to 1 gearboxes you can get away with 19 volt Pittmans, still surrendering top speed, but the locomotive was still in its sweet spot when cruising……
