Josh, I believe the http://estore.bachmanntrains.com/index.php?main_page=popup_image&pID=1283 (http://estore.bachmanntrains.com/index.php?main_page=popup_image&pID=1283) motor is used in the older, split frame Bachmann diesels while the http://estore.bachmanntrains.com/index.php?main_page=popup_image&pID=1358 (http://estore.bachmanntrains.com/index.php?main_page=popup_image&pID=1358) is used in the newer, one piece frame.
