Not sure why but I can only reply to my original post...so; At Vratislav; I tried both of your suggestions. Well, for you second one I removed all sails on one windmill then put them back on. It seems to insist on spinning one direction. At Zer0pig316 I think your second suggestion is the solution. Unfortunately I've built all of my 'machines' under one tower and was just trying to bring the remote windmill over and connect it. I may revamp things and see if that works.

I'm pretty much end game and wanted to keep things going so I decided to connect two windmills on two different buildings. Both have four windmills feeding a large gear with a large gear beneath them connected to a small gear (speed increase with reduced power). I ran the axle from one building to the other and no matter what I do the shafts I want to connect are spinning in opposite directions. I even tried coming off the other side of the large gear with the small gear as that would make it spin the other way and discovered the small gear connects to the other side of the spur gear so it appears no matter what I do I can't connect them. Any ideas? Thanks.
