1. A model train locomotive for use on a model railroad track that is coupled to a power supply for controllably applying a polarity-reversible DC track power signal to the track, the locomotive comprising:

  • a motor for driving the locomotive over the track;

    means for isolating the motor from the track so as to allow use of polarity-reversals on the track power signal for controlling remote effects; and

    means responsive to polarity-reversals on the DC track power signal for controlling remote effects without reversing the motor.
