Over the years I have built replacement "power bricks" for the trolleys.  I started out using my big Pittman motors, but too expensive (for me and for the customer).

Later I built trolley drive using a Shay motor and cluster gear, mated to a Stock Drive axle gear.  Have done about fifteen of these.  I decided to do it properly, so I am building the drill jig for the power block and hope to be producing a run of these in the very near future, to hazard a guess probably with in a month.  Haven't completely priced it out yet, but one of the credits would be to have the customer send me the trolley wheels.
Also will be open to buy Shay motors (still running) and the little black cluster gears (two per shay motor block).  These have worked out very well and I will warrant them as my other products.
