Something seems amiss. Anyone figured these out?

| (...) I take that back, it can connect to axles. Put an axle entender piece,((URL) on the (new) town axle (like the axles at (URL) are on a motor and don't spin freely) and you have a tiny axle-connecting motor! NICK (23 years ago, 19-Dec-01, to lugnet.town, lugnet.year.2002)
