(...) Well yes that's true, or you could just open the motor and reverse some of the wiring inside so that the motor runs the opposite direction of a stock motor, but I really doubt it would be worth the effort. If you really want to crash them, (...) (23 years ago, 12-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains)

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 (...) (23 years ago, 12-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains)

<Snip> (...) 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 (...) (23 years ago, 12-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains)
