Thank u so much.  I was able to hot glue it back and placed the wires and it works.  Should I soder the wires back on?  Right now they  are just touching because I wanted to make sure  it worked.

Always a brings me a smile when the train starts working again.  Happy holidays!!!

This Christmas the locomotive pilot truck came unattached when I took it out of the box.  It was on its last leg last year and I taped the red and black wires and got it working.  Now the pilot truck is completely removed and I'm not sure how to connect the wires back so that it runs correctly.

I have a black and red wire and then their are two metal points to attach the wires to. Does it matter which wires are attached to which points?  I can see the arrow and place the pilot truck in the right direction but need more info on how to reattach the pilot truck wires.

Thank you for your help.
