    Trains from the 70’s is really getting along.For parts try your local hobby shop first.Then send the manufcturer a email.Most are very willing to help.(try Walthers on line,or phone them).They are nice people.Al in al I would convert the motors(open frame DC),to a can motor.You’ll get smoother operation,easier to switch to DCC.I’ve converted all my locos to can motors.DCC is the future of model railroading.Hope this will help.Regards.Tom
