I take that back, it can connect to axles. Put an axle entender
piece,(http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=6538) on the (new) town
axle (like the axles at http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=4600
but are on a motor and don't spin freely) and you have a tiny
axle-connecting motor!
