Well, I'm stumped. I have an early 2245, and someone made it into a dummy years ago via removal of the motor and horn. I have found replacement pieces, but I have scarcely any idea about where the wires are supposed to go. The only info I've found talks about the vertical motor 2245s, which is of no help to me. If anyone has another horiz. motor 2245, I'd much appreciate it if you could perhaps sketch a wiring diagram for me or point me in the right direction on where to find one. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me resurrect this engine!

An important consideration not yet mentioned is that these are series wound motors.  The field and armature are always in series.  The E-unit changes the relationship between the armature and field but they are still in series.  Typically with Lionel the field is grounded (with Marx motors the opposite is true) and which brush connects to the other side of the field is changed by the E-unit to change direction.
