how can you alter the direction of a train motor? Can you modify the motor

frequently use 2 motors per train and if you don't get them both going the
same direction, well, the train won't go anywhere. I usually look on the
bottom of the motors and and make sure the LEGO trademark's are going on the
same direction. In this case, make sure they are opposite of one another and
you should be able to get a nice head on crash.

(...) Well, since you've "butt" in (which is just fine, any advice is welcome ;-) how can you alter the direction of a train motor? Can you modify the motor or controller? TJ (22 years ago, 12-Mar-02, to lugnet.org.us.texlug, lugnet.trains)
