The central wheel from the 12V train motors comes off by simply pushing it
upward, yo then fit the wider hub into the top of the hole in the middle of
the 9V motor, and push it down. It allows a 6 wheel setup. They don't
exactly match, but if it is the wheel count that you are most interested in,
it works for that purposel.
