Dear Hans,
I'm not aware of any replacement motor sources but let me see if I have an
extra 4.5v motor unit in used/good condition.
Also, since the newer, 9v wheels (on both wheelsets and on the motor) are
narrower than their 4.5v counterparts, they tend to derail when negotiating
points (switches).
I'll check on the motor and will advise,
