Really Useful Engine
I had a Bachmann Christmas Gandy Dancer that ran (with a great deal of noise) last year. This year it stopped and on breaking it down to clean and test, the motor is completely gone. It just smokes if powered. All the threads I've searched here and elsewhere concern the 'rubber band drive' type. Mine is a double-worm-gear type. There must be somewhere I can get a motor of this size or type, OR even just roughly the same size that doesnt get in the way of the motion gears, and I can rebuild the holder with plasticard.
The Bachmann parts site and all other parts sites are of course, useless, as there's no information on size at all. The interior of the Gandy Dancer is pretty tight so I need something close if not identical. Anyone seen any other motors anywhere that are this sort of size and double ended?
I'm debating making the entire thing battery powered, but first I need to get a motor I can fit in there.
