Connect the center rail roller wire to one brush holder.  Connect the other brush holder to the loose field wire.  The other field wire should be permanently connected to the motor frame, which gets to the outside rail power.  If the motor is not running in the direction you want it to, reverse the connections to the brush holders.  This is a series wound motor.  It is important the power goes through the armature then through the field.

An other similar question, where do I attache a wire to a Lionel AC pullmor motor to get a source of track voltage when only in reverse to run a backup light on the coal tender?

Wire a 6 volt light between one of the brushes and ground. Test run the loco to see which brush to use.

One of the smaller companies did this in the 50's. I think it was GMC, general models corporation.
