Thanks for the reply. This unit was redone with 2 new can motors and was detailed nicely. It ran on DC with a current draw of less than 1 amp total draw at stall. I don't know the brand of motors as they don't have a visible mark but they are can motors. I must do some more research to see if I can find a name on them. I will attach a photo. If you see something please point it out. I am to the age where I spend hours hunting a tool that is in my hand 
The one black wire would be white for the light but the installer already had an LED and resistor installed and it was neat so I just used his wire. The light works fine. I double checked and the brushes are insulated from the frame and so are both the front and rear trucks.
I will add that the locomotive was sent out to be redone and the owner died while it was being done. The son that sold it was not into trains so it wasn't run. It did run nicely on dc but did have portions of the trucks that could hit the frame and short. Easy fix because it was a hidden part of the front frame.
