Here is Ray Marinaccio's (the Obi-Wan Kenobi of loco restoration ) tutorial on how he put the motor back in the boiler of a Chattanooga 2-8-0 where it belongs.

Thanks for the help.  Im thinking about though making a powered boxcar so I dont mess up anything important because im still learning.  I do believe that I have a locomotive that would work for this too, and long as I can guise up the trucks and remove the fuel tank.  I fogot who makes it but it only has one powered truck, and that truck is powered by worn gear and a open frame motor which I cannobolized for parts in another project.  But if I repower it with a modern motor, I should still be able to use the worm gear and stack weight up inside the carbody after that.  Any thoughts on that?
