Thanks John, it has a faceplate comm on the motor which is in a vertical plane, any idea what this type of motor is called.

Think it's just the standard pancake motor. I'm sure if you ask MB and tell them what it's for, they will be able to identify the part you seek.
John,

Won't Hornby ones fit?
Can't remember, my operational loco fleet doesn't contain any pancake motors :o)
It's officially called the "G motor".
You could always try Hornby carbon brushes....or a new motor conversion from model-torque....or sell the Lima model and buy a Bachmann Class 55.... Worth buying a few springs and brushes as spares.... M.B. about your best bet.
Colin.
