Take the housing off by bending the sides outwards with the nails of your thumb, then pull a bogie towards you to lift the chassis out.
Remove the two screws
Use a flat screwdriver to remove the two clips that are holding the motor in place.
Reverse side
Remove the two worms from the motor. In this case, I’ve cut a nail that fits in there, just sticking out a little higher. You can read more about removing worms and gears in this article on this website, a MUST READ.

Take the electronics board off and the two metal blocks out. Put the two light bulbs aside (at the ends of the model), you might loose them.
This is what you are left with.

Slide the whole assembly in and test it running. To glue the adapters, slide them first on, about three millimeters from the motor. Then put a tiny bit of Loctite or superglue on the shaft, so only about two millimeters will be glued. If you would put glue inside the tube before sliding it on instead of on the shaft, you would run the risk the tube is stuck before you reach it intended position.
Firmly, but carefully press the worm on the brass adapter until you can’t get it further. Do this for both worms.
Solder the wires. Not that there is a small + indicating the positive connection. As the motor comes pre-fitted in the housing, we should have fitted the motor so the right contact is the +.

Note: the motor casing shown left has been replaced by a new design, where the motor is pressed in the housing from the top (right). Installation instructions remain the same.

Slide the adapters on the motor shafts. fit this assembly in the motor, to check if the worm sits centred above the gear. Route the red and green wires through the gap before you push the motorblock in.
Now it’s time to close up the patient. Slide the motor back in, noting the routing of the grey (-) cable. It will stay on this side.

Don’t forget to put the light bulbs back!
Cut the contact clip

Solder the motor wires to the locations as on the picture. Check that it is going in the same direction as your other trains and the correct light turns on, otherwise you’ll have to swap the connections around.
