I am attempting to put a decoder into a locomotive from a Walthers Trainline set. It doesn't have a lightboard or anything like that, so it needs to be hard wired in. My question is how do you find positive and negative on the motor. I need to be able to wire the decoder in and I am not sure which is which. Or does it matter. I think the only thing that will happen to it is the loco won't run the right direction. Also another thing while I have your attention, when they say right side rail, is it right side while looking at the back of the train or the front? Thank you in advance for any answers or any tips on how to wire decoder into this loco.
