   I used a old micro RC helicopter motor connected to a recycled tender light board. It only took a small button cell battery to power it for the speed I was looking for. The hard part was centering the blade in the motor shaft to eliminate any wobble.

   You can even get gearhead motors to fit a Z Scale rotary for cheap:
