    Hi Joe,

    I would suggest that you contact Frank at zscalehobo.com.

    You need Marklin 211903 (aka e211903) motor. As of about 2 years ago it is discontinued and no longer available.

    Are you certain the motor is burned up, or is it possible you just have "hardened oil syndrome", common to older Marklin locos?

    Fortunately, there is one in the bag full of new motors I got in my dad's collection.
    I'll be sending it off to Joe.
