Does anyone have info on how to re-motor/re-gear the IHC 2-6-0? The model I have is 12 years + old and runs - sorta. I am thinking a new motor is the answer( I have a decoder installed). I think th eworm gear would need to be replcaed as well - does not look like an easy way to get it off the shaft(?). Any help approciated!

The simplest answer to this is to contact IHC parts department and get a new motor from them so it will be an exact fit, if you’re absolutely sure your problem is the motor and not a case of dirty wheels or worn contact wipers. Their advertisements in Model Railroader have contact telephone numbers.
They also have a website with all of the numbers and instructions listed.
