First time posting, I am normally fixing Hornby Triang and similar for fun since I retired.

Have acquired two Bachmann Jubilee class locos - they came disassembled. 4-6-0 like the Harry Potter version

A bit tricky to assemble but after some trial and error I got the sequence correct and like all things, once you have done it you wonder why it looked difficult.

What is missing if I read the sheet correctly are the two connectors for the motor - part 150-120. I have not been able to locate this.

The motor runs with a 9v battery, but will not run on the track, and I assume the above part or similar is needed to interface the body to power the motor.

There is no pick up for the wheel which is what I am used to, and the wheels don't seem to be different from one side to the other ie insulate/not insulated as with old Triangs.

Could anyone suggest how I might get the power to the motor?

Many thanks Andrew Meyenn (Melbourne, Australia)

this link shows the exact motor and split frame.

says it is a wireless operation, so the motor connectors need to touch the frame I guess and no wires.

nonetheless it does get power.
