Ben...AM's dual motored PAs run very nicely on the NYC.  The shafts of both 
motors are mechanically 'connected' via a U-joint.  Other locos, such as RRM's 
brass E-8, have two small motors which are NOT connected to each other.  Those 
locos run very nicely also.  I tend to think it is the quality of the motor 
that is more important than whether they are mechanically 'connected' to each 
other.  Ed L.
