LGB 2-8-0 Mikado

The drivetrain on this loco is weak, there was an upgrade to the universals in the driveline, but they still break.

There was also an Aster-LGB version with a brass boiler, and they broke almost immediately.

The motor is hard to find, but "alcolocomotive" on MLS found a replacement"

I can now finally confirm that the motor used by the LGB Mikado is the EXACT SAME as the far more readily available Rugen motor (22210 Buhler Motor for LGB Rügen Steam Locomotives) all you need to do is pull the worm gears and install the knuckle drive from the old motor and you’re good to go!

here's an extensive post on this loco (used google translate):;
