Buy a powered loco.  Any road name and then swap bodies.

You are much better off just buying a powered unit in the first place or swapping bodies as Toger suggested. Powering the dummy otherwise would take a lot of time and would be more expensive than just buying a powered locomotive.

not sure what you have, but some dummies rode on a different chassis than their powered brothers. powering one of those would be a nightmare.
