do you know, i think i have one just like it, if you'r talking about a triang one. (unfortunately in a similar or worse condition). I can do a thing or two with a busted electric motor but 1. i'm hardly going to visit you, and 2. you would'nt want to trust me with it anyway.
you might have heard of east kent models. they sell old model railway (mainly 00 gauge) parts for relatively cheap prices. they have a webpage and they do exhibitions round the country. but before you find a new motor you might want to try just checking electrical contacts around the motor (I trust you can do a bit of soldering where needed). or find a friend who knows about model railway electrics.
i'm not at present doing anything about my one. I've inherited three old triang locos (all basically kaput) and at present I'm only fixed on getting one refurbished (a little black tank engine with smoke machine). but i've got a museum in my bedroom so 6201's just a 'static exhibit'. the other loco (BR class 37) i spilt white spirit on and ruined the bodywork (dad wasn't happy). hope i can help (or at least provide some sympathy). I'd like to know if you get it working again...
