I have a customer's Porter that needs a new motor. I can't find anyone that has these Korea-made motors anymore. The newest Porter's produced by Marklin use a different motor that doesn't fit the older Porters. Does anyone know where these older version motors can be bought?

Are you looking for the round or dual flat side motor? I have the flat side motor in the original sealed bag.
Dan, it's the flat sided motor as in the photo below. If you have one, how much do you want for it plus shipping? I can send you a payment by PayPal to your email address. I'll need your email address.

I sent an email to Buhler Germany about finding a substitute motor for the older Korea-made Porter locomotives but they never responded. So it appears that these older LGB Porters that hobbyists have will eventually be retired when they need replacement motors.
