Shaygetz's 2013 Orphan Challenge...

Thanks for all the information guys...I'm not quite as intimidated now Shame it has such a bad rap, it really is nice looking. The motors include an aftermarket one and the original...neither of which impresses me. I've seen larger flywheels on Z scale motors, this one is about 3/8" x 1/4"--AND tapered. I've seen more muscular buzzers in TYCO slot cars A remotor is in order but I'll have to weigh my options, most likely a tender mounted affair of some sort--with a beefier flywheel. My personal preference on older models is to use what's provided and tweak it to optimal performance...we'll see.
