I've seen ads for Buhl (spelling?) can motors made in Germany. I can't remember where I saw them or who carried them here in the states, but I would expect them to be readily available in Europe. I'm wondering if you could just buy the motors and make up your own drive or adapt the Athearn drive to them? I think Northwest Shortline makes various pieces to adapt various sized motor shafts to gear boxes.
