I might be wrong, too, but I think the instructions with the engine include
sections on adding motor & lights.

Yep, there's no problem going up (& down) hills. There's a limit on how
steep it can be though. I've found you can go to about 1 brick (height) per
section of straight track, but only about half that (1 brick per 2 sections)
on curves. Even that's a bit steep for bigger trains.
