Hello Eugen,

Out of curiosity, why are you asking for these parts? Are you planning a digital MOC that includes them, do you have an immediate need for them?

These are the only Mabuchi S-1 replacements (Third Party parts) on the market actually, which are backward compatible with the next LEGO sets:

• Set 1118
  
• Set 314
  
• Set 315-2
  
• Set 316
  
• Set 4005
  
• Set 4015
  
• Set 4025
  
• Set 709
  
• Set 775
  

And they looks identically to the "white unnamed Third Party motor siluete" as shown in the LEGO instructions for these sets.

[Rene Rechthaler]

found a Playmobil 7350, that one is NOT compatible with the newer hulls...
this one only fits to the weighed keel with tab because it has some "fins" at the connector side which makes it too wide for the integrated tabs of the newer hulls.
(and we dont like playmobil that much)

[Orion Pobursky]

I'll state for the record that the Playmobile parts will not be included in the library regardless of compatibility. I was dubious about the motor that has already been submitted. 

Additionally, I can virtually guarantee that any new submission of these motors (aside from patterns of the one already on the tracker) will not fulfill the new policy (but I'm welcome to be proven wrong).

OK, declined request for Playmobil.

Additionally, I can virtually guarantee that any new submission of these motors (aside from patterns of the one already on the tracker) will not fulfill the new policy (but I'm welcome to be proven wrong).

I suppose that all of available patterns should be added for Mabuchi (2 out of 3 already on PT).

And request is active for Tamaya's motors, as they are the only successors to Mabuchi S-1 available in stock (if call Playmobil a "clone brick" company).

[Orion Pobursky]

if call Playmobil a "clone brick" company

I do.

[Willy Tschager]

(if call Playmobil a "clone brick" company).

The first one of all of them.
