The term "bogie" refers to the _swivelling_ function of a wheelset.

I can't see what about 2871 marks it with that function.

The addition of a bogie plate to the motor would give a bogie function,
but that doesn't have much to do with 2871.

IMHO, 2871 adds "suspension" to a motor, but not bogie features. • [snip]
While some bogies (railroad bogies especially) might have this sort of
side decoration, not all bogies (in the generic use of the term) would.

Furthermore, plenty of railway wheelsets have suspension such as that
shown on 2871, but they don't swivel and so wouldn't be a bogie.

Once again, Joshua's argument is sound.
So, any other good name suggestions?

Maybe to drop the word "Bogie" from the description.
This leaves us with:

Electric Train Motor  9V Side Clip

Or we can use my original description:

Electric Train Motor  9V Decorative Side

It's a tough one, isn't it?

Greetings, M. Moolhuysen.

(...) I wouldn't use the word 'clip'; that term is used with the various clip-on parts. Steve (25 years ago, 21-May-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
