Do the two different scaled Bachmann sidetank switcher, the 1/22.5 version and the 1/20.3 version share the same drivetrain? motor, wheels, pistons, etc?
The reason I ask is that I have a 1/20.3 saddletanker, bought used, thats motor is Phhtt! I want to fix it but was considering simply replacing the entire drivetrain from the 1/20.3 side tanker onto the body of my 1/20.3 saddletanker if possible. If they are too different can the motor from a 1/22.5 version be swapped into the 1.20.3 version?
Are there even replacement parts available?
???
Pretty sure you can't use parts from the old 0-4-0 on the Spectrum switcher. You should contact the service department directly to see if replacement parts are available for your loco.

Unfortunately according to the Parts listings on the website there are no parts currently available for the Porter. The 2-4-2 I know has a very different drive block. So that wont work.
So back to my other question, is the drive chassis from a 1/20 sidetanker interchangable with the 1/20 saddletanker? I have submitted a request online to the service dept as well.
