I dont have much experience with wooden trains, my kids and nephews never got into them. I didn't know that they made ones that are powered.
The motor I used is a spare 1/32 slot car motor (I used to race then at a local track when I was a kid). When I took one apart years ago I realized that they uses the same type motor. The motor I'm using is a stock 21k rpm motor. It normally runs on 3.7v so I was thinking about adding a permanent tender with a 3.7v 18650 battery like the one i use in my vaporizer.
Here are a couple of videos:
