(...) I'm not really hoping, but it would be awesome if they modified the existing motor to allow it to be powered by either battery or off the rails. The very best (IMO) would be like the trainmodders have done -- the power picked up from the rails (...) (19 years ago, 6-Jan-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) I am hoping it will be a modified version of the 9v motor. If it is the same motor, then if it runs onto metal track, it's battery will find itself powering the track out through the wheels instead of getting power in through them. (The (...) (19 years ago, 6-Jan-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Can "new trains" ever be a bad thing? Doubtful, but here are some observations based on the pic below that explore this question: (URL) It appears that the battery motor has metal flanges like the 9 volt motor. Probably good; will last longer than (...) (19 years ago, 6-Jan-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
