Tell them you'd like to re-motor a Z-scale locomotive. Ask them the name of the company that makes such motors, or for a distributor. (An outfit like Northwest Short Lines imports motors for re-motoring purposes; I don't know if they have a motor as small as you want, however.) A Z-scale locomotive is about as big as your little finger. -- Herb Poppe NCAR INTERNET: hpoppe@ncar.ucar.edu (303) 497-1296 P.O.
