Captain! The motor has no motor!

As the parts begin to coalesce for the lobby's new airship, excitement mounts. The mounts for the propeller and rocket, on the other hand.... they're going to require a machine shop. To reduce weight we gutted the the motor but kept it's housing, bearings and spindle. My hope is to have a belt drive (with lots 'o slop) connecting it to the captain's wheel.
