I noticed this as well, I'm guessing the old moters were used for testing
and
early photos, but the final product will have plastic wheels. I'm really
hoping
that the IR reciever is not permanently coupled the the motor unit. Use a
standard 9v train motor, and save the IR outputs for decouplers, lights
and
sound control.

The battery container, the IR receiver, and the baseplate are all one unit.
The motor is a separate unit, same form factor as the current 9v motor but
without the wheels.  The wheels are plastic and are attached to the motor
via a Technic axel.

(...) Hmm, does this mean the new motor could drive BBB wheels directly? That would be way cool for steam designers. Frank (19 years ago, 12-Jan-06, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.year.2006)
