Hate to disagree with you Robert, but the LEGO train motors don't work that
way. It doesn't matter which way you put them on the track, they will all
travel in the same direction. You can not run to motors on the same loop of
track in opposite directions.

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

It is my experience that all of the train motors are directional. I
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.
