If Alphalegacy's axles are solid, then the skewers most trainers come with won't help, but Terror_in_pink's experience is promising, assuming the track nuts are the usual, big ones with pointy corners and you don't have a lot of extra axle protruding. I would guess, though, that it would depend on how the trainer and skewer-end interface is designed.

The cheap-o Performance trainer I have has cup-shaped parts to grip skewer ends and would probably work on track nuts. This Kurt model, though, seems to have cone-shaped parts, which might not work so well with a blocky axle nut. See the last photos on this page...

Maybe best to inspect the trainer before buying, if possible...
