I own the more recent Lionel version of a Bild A Motor from a standard Gauge 2-4-0 small steamer. This engine has a regular E unit that is difficult to activate due to its location. I would like to remove the E unit and set this engine up for continuous forward operation.
The side of this motor has four screws from where the e unit were attached. The bottom two screws go to the brushes and I assume top two go to each end of the winding. I have set the engine on a powered track and tried, using jumper wires in various configurations between the four screws to get the motor to run, with no success,
What am I missing here? Phil
