Here's the part number from an old Only Trains listing LGB Model Trains, LGB Locomotives, Garden Train Sets, G Scale Model Trains,: E161892 Buhler Motor for LGB Mikado Steam Locomotives

You might be able to pull the worm gear off the old motor and reuse it on the new motor if you're careful. I checked my Mogul and Stainz spare motors and it looks like they are pressed on, no signs of solder.

I've sent inquiries to websites like I listed looking for spare motors and received responses on whether they have it or don't. The distribution partners may steer you to someone who carries it so try calling them.
