I'm looking for a replacement motor for my BLI Blueline 3751 and I want to know which motor would be a good replacement. The motor that is in the Blue line 3751 is a five pole

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-/360065676404i realize a 5 pole is not a big deal lol but remotoring isnt an issue either i did it to alot of my riverossi big boys & such
