Hear, hear, those four wheeled Annie and Clarabels are a travesty created by the
TV series ;-)

I think it will be possible to bury the new IR unit in an 8 or wider engine,
possibly to use it for remote controlled lights or auxiliary motors (crane

There
would still be the question of which motor frame parts to include though - ones
with holes for the new motor or studs for the existing one.

I think the 'with holes' one, Its backward compatible even if it doesn't look as
good.
