I just tried this out on my basement layout. The short answer is no.
The 8866 motor has a 9v-style connector on it, so the first thing I tried was
connecting a 9v motor to the new motor with a 9v cable. No luck.
Next, I tried connecting the 9v motor to a 9v/PF adapter cable, connected to
another PF/9v adapter cable, connected to the new motor. Still no luck.
However, a 8883 Medium Power Functions motor does work. I connected that to the
9v train motor using an adapter cable and it spun fine. So it might not work
for diesel trains, but would probably work for steamers or as a motor for
accessories just as spinning fans.
It was just a quick test, so someone may want to verify it, but that's what I
found with some quick experimenting.
