You might find on on ebay but that is a WAG.
I gave away two locos with pancake motors.
Converted one to DCC but had pickup issues which I overcame, but it was an experiment.
Experienced users here would say a waste of money and time.
Better to buy a loco with a DC can motor.
Read some threads about pancake motors.
Good luck.

They do from what I have heard. They are heavy. All metal gears. I had a couple. I have one now in a 0-6-0 under DCC.

Search for How to repower a Bachmann HO DD40X if you cannot find anything.
