Pete - thanks for the quick reply with the motor info. I'm in luck 2 ways.
The Mabuchi FS-395PH motor will fit in the relatively narrow firebox of my 50+ year old Max Gray PRR D16sb.
I was able to purchase a new motor on the bay for under $14 shipped.
When the motor arrives, I'll fabricate a motor mount and use a NWSL drive shaft coupling set to mate the previously upgraded NWSL ball bearing gearbox to the Mabuchi motor shaft. Then it's on to up-detailing the locomotive, painting, and installing DCC/sound. The story be far shorter if Sunset imported a PRR D16sb built to today's detail standards.

Shorter story but not as much fun as building your own.

Did he say fun???
