Got these for free off my brother. He got them off someone who said they were toy motors for something. They say "Mabuchi" on the back side and were made in Japan. Small little buggers and they spin awfully fast when hooked up to a HO transformer. Make a real high pitch noise in the process.

Might try to re-motor a dead 0-6-0 with one at my friends house just to serve as a test. If it blows up or doesn't work, it was free motors in a dead engine anyways haha. Just seeing if anyone might have heard of these before.
