[quote user="gmpullman"]You can use a 9V battery or other DC supply below 12 volts and apply that to the motor leads for a second or so.[/quote] I might just make up a jig with a 9V battery terminal and female recepticals soldered onto the wire. That way I can stick the solder motor lead wires in and run it for a short piece to test.  I had to do a lot of re-work already on this locomotive as I couldn't get the shell on (forgot how important wiring neatness can be).   Should the coupler boxes protrude from each end of the locomotive slightly on these?
