PLEASEEEE, I need your help finding this small motor

I am driving myself nuts finding this small motor out of a few old 0-4-0 docksides I have. I want to repower them. The motor does say RIVAROSSI on it. I have emailed a few companies but came up empty handed. Someone has to have these. Below is a pic of the motor and engine. I would even try to replace it with a better motor. Maybe someone can help me.[:)]

If they don’t have it, no one will.

There’s a seller on ebay right now with several NOS Rivarossi motors in the buy it now section…

Try Motorman at Micro Loco Motion. He helped my wife repower her 3 N scale Rivarossi Big Boys.

Michael,
I’d like to suggest that you contact NorthWest Short Line:

and see what motor they suggest as a replacement for the Rivarossi.

Golf Manor Hobbies isn’t the most consiencious for replying to Email try their phone # (513) 351-3849 3pm-9pm EST. I tried Emailing them a while ago , they are much faster to deal with on the phone (and a nice bunch of folks to deal with too).

If all else fails, contact Hornby in the UK, they have bought Lima/Jouef and Rivarossi and Pocher.
They might be able to help.
