Hi Dave;
A big issue with the motor you are asking about for application in HO model trains is the rpm range. Most "diesel" types like your turbine have 40" or 42" drivers and stock gear ratios in the 10:1 to 14:1 range, which with a 10000 rpm motor (@12V) results in a top speed in the 85 to 120 mph range.
The motor you are considering with result in a top speed in the 10 to 15 mph range with typical gearing. Most of us would want a turbine to be capable of much higher speeds.
I looked through the website you listed, and could not find a suitable motor. You may want to look at:

NWSL and others offer flywheels and driveline parts for 2.0mm shafts.
I am not positive, but I believe that KTM made your model. Give NWSL a telephone call about replacement axles and gears for much smoother running.
