	Here is another way to tell which way is front. The is the front bogey, viewed from the right hand side. A loco will travel forwards when +12v is applied to the track on its right hand side and 0v on its left hand side. Most of these classic Minitrix locos use the chassis to connect to the negative (left) track and use brushes to pick up the +12volts from the right hand track. ** It follows that the wheels with the brush pickups must be on the right hand side of the loco. You can see the pickups (with black insulation), bent to touch the back of the wheel.
