(...) I'm confused. Are these parts generally openable - are the actual motors removeable (by the average user)? If they are removeable, then the (shortcut) names should include "case", since they aren't actually the motor. If the motors are not (...) (20 years ago, 29-Jun-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Hi We have a collection of 4.5V train motors on the LDraw Parts Tracker, and I'd like some help sorting out the variants of this part.
