Picked up a Rail King bump and go trolley that needed repair, found a broken wire on the motor, soldered the wire back, didn't seat the motor correctly and burnt it up when I powered up the trolley. Can't locate a motor on e bay. Thanks. Bill

I've got one without the worm gear; if you're interested, drop me a line. Alternately, the modern Lionel bump and go trolleys use the same motor, but, again, you'll have to do a worm swap.

I am pretty much a postwar guy and have good success repairing postwar stuff. This motor and gear look pressed together, sounds like a good plan but how do I open the motor. Thanks for your help. Bill Makel
I have an MTH Rail King trolley that has a good motor, but the reverse doesn't work. Otherwise excellent condition and I may have the box. If interested let me know at

Frankly, you'd be better off with Lew's offer, I think, as that motor will be a drop-in install. Keep us posted!
