The K-line hand cars used motors like this . Not sure the Plymouth switchers did. http://www.e-slotcar.com/shop/...n-7-new-motor-30207/
Lionel hand cars used these to. They looked just like a plafit motor for slot cars.
You might try Brasseur's in Saginaw, Meeeeshigan. They ended up with the majority of K-Line parts after the mushroom cloud dissipated and the dusty remains settled.
Just a thought, FWIW...

Boxcar Bill,
does this mean you have that Replacement Motor or "Modern Toy Trains"?

Bill may have it for less, Lionel does have parts for these. The same photo Bill posted,the motor is #3 on the list:
RickO,
Thanks so much! You are a great help when I am trying to find PARTS. Those "COLLECTORS" you found for me were Ordered, Received and Installed on the CLUBS Scout, Thomas & Percy Engines, which we run on our "Thomas Layout", for the Kids!
Thanks again!!

I have one and opened it up right now to see what motor it had. Looks like that pictured by Boxcar Bill - dual shafts with wroms on both, although the bearings on the ends of the motor casing were different than in his picture.
Anyway, if you cannot find a replacement, there is a fall-back, I think. That basic motor itself is like that in lots of clown cars and almost all SuperStreets and E-Z Streets vehicles (except the vintage Truck type) except those motors have a shaft and worm on only one end, not both. I have several spares of those and held one up closely to my switcher when open and it looks like it would fit easily - or certainly could easily be made to fit in there. With the single shaft it would engage on one axle so you would not have all wheel drive, but the thing would run, at least.
FOUND !!! Thanks everyone for your HELP!!!
Sincerely,
FRED
So, where did you find it?
Believe it or not, Lionel

Who'd have thunk it.
