I don't know for sure, but I'm willing to bet that the motor mechanism is
the same as used in 8279
http://www.brickset.com/search.aspx?Set=8279-1
This uses an integrated motor/battery box and has a rotary switch that
rotates in the horizontal plane on the top that is used to stop and reverse
it. In this set, it just has a long axle sticking up from it that you can
catch with your hand to control it.
In fact, looking at the image http://www.brickset.com/search.aspx?Query=8472
you can actually see the mechanism that operates the switch.
