Great video and well-done on the repair. As far as a cradle, you can buy a grout cleaning sponge for less than $2.00 at any hardware store or Home Depot. Then just hollow the center and Bob's your uncle.
I view the Tyco/Mantua steam engines in the modern times as being underrated. They may lack specific details of a certain road, but they represent a great generalization of the class of the model type that they represent. Also, I take in the consideration of the time that they were made. This gives a latitude or consideration for the lack of specific prototype details. If you want a generalization of the class model, Tyco/Mantua will fill the roll.
There was thing that I forgot. Judging by the noise of the engine, did the motor armature get lubed? Oil on the ends of the motor armature is a must. Often, these surfaces are dry. While oil should never be applied to the commutator, the armature needs lubrication on the ends of the bearings. If you already did this, then please excuse my comment. I may have missed this in the video.
