BLI 3751 as in an HO scale Santa Fe 4-8-4 Steam loco? What happened to the old motor? It is much harder to re-motor a steam loco than it is a diesel. What is the infatuation with a 5 pole motor? Number of poles is not the only thing that determines quality.

I hated repowering AHM locos. To get them to really work right I also had to regear them with NSWL stuff. But did you ever try it with a coreless? Something like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Swiss-escap-2642-9-pole-coreless-motor-has-zero-cogging-/360065676404
