Would it be possible to take two powered diesel locos that are to remain coupled back to back, both have one motor each, disconnect the E-unit from one, run a the motor wires from the E-less unit loco to the other locos E-unit and wire it such that when the one loco is running forward, it has the rear one running backward, and vice versa when you change directions? Can the E-unit handle the current of two motors?
