Need part # and or correct item # for replacement motor.
Instructions call for spiral driven gear motor
Actual motor plastic nylon motor sandwiched between two frame pieces.
Motor has 3 rotors, setup like paddle wheel drive???
Nothing on Bachmann site even close.

Sounds like you have a really old version. The item has been upgraded and no longer utilizes the old "pancake " style motor. These were eliminated many moons ago. Parts are no longer available- sorry!
Bummer.
Try ebay.

Or weather it up a bit and put it on the scrap line?
Cheers

You know I think Radio Shack used to make a gear set for all kinds of motors I believe they even put pancake motors in the kits try Radio Shack to get your locomotive back on the rails
