Don't do this. <br /> <br />Seriously, fitting motors inside the trucks will result in very odd gearing, possible problems with synchronising the motors, etc, etc. In the UK we've only just started to get away from truck-mounted mechanisms and into decent US-style drive systems, There is little or no space for the gearing you will need to avoid problems with slow running and excessive top speeds. Also, I find it hard to believe that axle-mounted motors (In HO scale anyway) would be able to generate enough torque to move a decent length train. I'm also a little puzzled as to why you would want to model the interior - to the best of my knowledge locos never run with their side doors open, and a static "loco under repair" could be better represented with a cheap dummy loco.
