I have this PS1 0-8-0 NYC steam engine with a bad fan motor. The two wires going to the motor are white and yellow. Any idea which one is + or - ?? Or does it not matter since it's running off AC track power? These early PS1s are nice engines. Even the tender is die cast and it has an operating front coupler too! I have already put in a new motor now I just have to solder the wires to the lugs. Thanks for any help.
I tried to power the motor with some transformer leads but it spins so fast it is hard to tell which direction it is going. The fan has a slight curvature to the blades so I am assuming that is the direction in which it should spin.
