[quote user="gpharo"]I put my multimeter in the lowest OHMs and one probe to either the motor terminal or the motor brush and the other probe on the frame, however I am getting no continuity, but I know I should. What am I doing wrong?[/quote] You should not get continuity to the top motor terminal from the frame, only the bottom terminal/brush.  Place the locomotive on a scrap piece of track.  Check continuity from the track to the frame.    If there is no wire going to the bottom of the motor, you have a hot frame, and its probably connected.
