Anybody know of small flywheel can motors like these?

My first thought is Lionel hand cars. Did you try looking at those ?

Lee...

Suggest you contact these folks...

They have all the bits and pieces you're looking for.  They also will put together any combination for you.  Send them an email/photos.  See what they say.

Just a suggestion...

These motors look similar, no worm gear though.

Some worm gears, your the engineer, you'll have to figure out which ones would fit, if any

Thanks guys.

The one hand car I have has the motor on the left in the photos I posted.  No flywheel.

dkdkrd - I've looked at Northwest Short Line's website before.  Going to have to contact them.  Maybe I could get them to make up a few dozen special motors like this for me.  I'm going to e-mail them next.

RickO - I bought some of the motors shown in the ebay link. They work well, and in fact just about plug in where the standard "streets motors go, no problem.  But  no flywheel, and like the standard 'Streets motors, have either no back end shaft or too short of a shaft end at the back to mount a flywheel. 

BTW - the smallest motor I have found with a flywheel installed is that shown in my posting yesterday of the Bartoletti transporter.  It came out of an Atlas Atlantic (the tiny, nearly S-scale-but-runs-on-O loco). 

Those look like Mabuchi "N" size motors. Check out the R/C helicopter section at your LHS. These motors are used on the tail rotor of some models. Another place is All Electronics. They usually have a good assortment. Another place might be the Robot marketplace. They carry many different motors. Good luck,

Mike Marple of Mike's trains and hobbies in Lompoc, California had some at the show last week. They had a long worm on one end, a flywheel on the other end, and flat sides. I have no idea what they came from, but he stocks them.

Lots of sources for non flywheel motors like Kelvin but you could also use the motor used in the Lionel starter set 0-8-0s (left in pic) which have flywheels and worms.

Does anyone know how big the motor in the o-8-0 starter set loco is?  As stated at the beginning, I need a small motor (the motor on the left in my original post at the head of this thread is exactly one inch long) - my goal is to fit a flywheel motor in a Superstreets vehicle taking no more room than the stock motor and the rectifier - by removing the rectifier and running on DC I free up about 1/2 behind it for the flywheel.

(I have a 0-8-0 starter set loco, I suppose I could take it apart to find out,  but)

Lee, Have you considered the Bachmann motor that I mention above? This is 1.22" long including the flywheel (Not including the worm and shaft.) Going on the details that you have posted, it sounded ideal.

Lee,

I have an 0-8-0 motor on hand if you want to take a look at one. I may also have a couple of other small motors with flywheels laying around.

The worm and worm gear need to match.  Measure the shaft diameter on the current motor and locate a better quality motor with the identical shaft.  Mount the existing worm on the new motor.  Exercise caution when removing and installing the worm.

What is the shaft diameter?

Contact TIMKO !  He has all kinds of Motors.  He matched up the one in the Lionel #14145 Operating Lumber Jacks !! OF course Lionel didn't stock a replacement Motor. He is great and VERY helpful!!    (timkorepairdepot.com)

I will try to stop by tomorrow.  Thanks, Len
