Tore into the pancake motor out of a Santa Fe 307(Diesel Hustler set) and when I pulled the springs the brushes came out in powder form. :-\  Anyone know where I might get a new set of brushes? Is it even worth it? TIA.

It's probably not worth the effort, but Athearn motor brushes can be cut down to fit.

If at first you don't succeed, throw it in the spare parts box.

You can find a bunch of those locos on EBay for cheap.
