Yes, including case is good.
As Niels indicated, the 4 x 12 x 3 1/3 versions are openable with a screwdriver,
allowing the actual motors to be replaced, so I think the term "Shortcut" is
correct.
The 4 x 12 x 4 version is glued, so I'll change that to "Complete".

Of course - that was my plan. The voltage valiue that is visible through the
"window" is part of a sticker on the actual motor, but I don't think we need to
model all the guts.

That's what Niels confirmed - I had to <SNIP> his response due the LUGNET 90%

The actual motors (both 12V and 4.5V) were sold seperately as replacement packs, so users can screw open the case and replace the motor (either replacing a broken motor or replace a 4.5V motor with a 12V motor or vice versa).
