Anybody ever seen one of these NBK can motors ? I found it in a box of other slot car stuff . It's big ! I can't find any thing about it ! Maybe it's really for a train ? Any guesses ?

Doesn't ring a bell Ted.
Given the baseplate, looks more like an electric motor for hobby projects, or maybe model boats.

Seems that NBK used to make motors for vintage hobby boats. Maybe this is a inboard motor!
