Another approach I've seen for large-scale models of a similar size is to recreate the motor mount of a full-size trolley, with nose-hung traction motors (sized to fit between the wheelsets parallel to the axle) engaging a 'bull gear' on the axle. One end of the motor mount sits on the wheelset axle (in the photo I found, brass strip was wrapped around the motor and the outer end shaped to cup atop the axle), the other end hooks over the truck bolster. Of course with a single-truck streetcar this half of the mounting would be on some sort of frame extension.
Looking good keep up the good work.

Everything is coming along
The way you fabricate those parts looks like it came fresh from the factory, I really admire your creativity that's talent!
Thank you.
