Hi There:

Don't remember if I said welcome aboard, so Welcome aboard.

As to your question oddly enough TYCO put two motors in one shell in a version of their "F" unit.

Head over to the Tyco resource page for info....

Some of us have double motored the Alco 630. Nothing special needed, save that they are identical motors- i.e., same motor, same gearing, similar running speed. Just be sure both motors are wired to pick up from the track in parallel, and they both run the same direction when the track power is on(Duh!)
