Its gonna be take a long time and and substancial financial resources to complete... Thanks guys :)

The overkill I hope would help me with inclines. I'm renovating my room to accomodate tracks on table level and the floor or table level and ceiling mount. But the primary reason is that I can switch engines and charge while the others run.

oic.. thank you so much for your assistance and reply.. greatly appreciated.

Hi guys Newbie here... After 20 years, I received a small lego car a few months ago. It rekindled my fascination with Lego and the pieces were so nostalgic. Then I saw the Maersk Train. Bought 1 and assembled it. Was and am still fascinated by it. So much so that I immediately went out to buy 3 more sets(1 carton) 3 x 10219 (Maersk train) 1 x 8879 (remote control) 1 x 8887 (Transformer 3 x 8878 (rechargeable batts) 3 x 8884 (IR receiver) 6 x 88002 (train motor) 3 x 8869 (control switch) I intend to assemble 3 Maersk Trains each running dual train motors. 2 engines pulling with 1 helper/pushing at the end. However, I hope the experts here can help me out a little with regards to assembling the trains. How would the second motor which would be in reverse placed in the front, together with the control switch be connected? If the primary motor is connected to the motor, can the secondary motor's connecter be stacked on top of it? When the secondary motor is connected, whats the difference between that black switch and the orange lever atop the 8869 control switch? Is the secondary motor to be connected to the control switch then the lever placed at the receiver? I have scoured sites but find anything. BTW, 17 Power functions components seems a step backward to the old 9V IMHO. Would appreciate some help.. Any advise would be much appreciated. Better still, anyone running a dual 88002 with 8869 post a pic of the assembly? Thanks in advance.
