MSE allows the racer to modify the standard LEGO train engine pretty much
anyway that they want. The track will not be modified and will still only
supply the standard 9volt current. So the racer must keep that in mind and
design his/her modifications so that it will operate on stock LEGO track
with stock controllers. The adding of other power sources such as batteries
is allowed as long as it is isolated from the electrical system of the
track, the judges have the final say on what is allowed to run. (no flamible
power sources are allowed)
And yes MSE (Modified Single Engine) is single engine, there is a MME class
that is for modified multiple engines.
A more general list of the rules can be found at

| (...) What exactly is a "modified train motor" ?? Here's a hypothetical to make it clearer what I am asking. Suppose I construct something that can get 9v power from the track (wipers, a gutted 9V motor perhaps, whatever) and mount a large electric (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jul-02, to lugnet.trains)
