Looking for the front truck and motor assembly.
Any suggestions where I can find this part?
Thanks

Are you looking for a pancake motor that is part of the truck?

I'm working on this for my dad (who is 84) :)  He tells me he is actually looking for the gears that are in the transmission box but would take an entire assembly if he could get it. Thanks

He has the HO Scale
The instructions sheet he gave me matches the one on the link you provided

Ok. Which one? I provided two links. They are both HO. One has motor on the end. Sounds like that one from your first post. Maybe on ebay. Find a working one and replace the motor and gear box if you like the shell.

Second One has motor in the center.
