So what holds the grey and yellow "bumpers" on?  Do they just hook on
the motor hooks or are they actually attached somehow?

There are small plastic clips at the base of the train motor; these clasp under
the 1x3 inverted slopes to lock them in place (quite ridgidly, I might add).
You can see them in the photo; once the RCX dark grey base is loaded on top, it
ties everything together.

That's what I figured.  Not having any of these motors, I cobbled it
in LDRAW, and the clips in the model are too low.

I figure I'll just make a dolly the same size from bricks and the old
train wheels (with the metal axle from the 4.5V days) and drive it by
hand to test a module.
