There are 5 different drive versions of the 0-8-0... which do you have? It started with a motor in the tender (50's), then two different cab mounted motors (ball bearing, then sleeve), then a round motor mounted vertically in the boiler, first on a bracket, then with a collar and fork retainer.

That's a whole different matter. I don't have parts for those. I have a bunch of N C-Liner motors that I've rehabbed, but they have a worm on a short shaft and probably don't fit the 0-8-0.
