I figured the cab units would get these and the hood units would get spacers, which I may have to purchase a rapid prototyping machine for (there were several at the Trade Show I went to this week in Cleveland, and our rep in the area has a mini table-top unit one that does up to 5"x5"x5" for $1500).
You say the I need to lower the shell a 1/4" too? Is it as easy as trimming the mounting lugs? What about the smoke unit funnel? Isn't that tight fit between both the bottom of the shell and the top of the smoke unit?
I'll have to look up the article in O Scale Trains.
Thanks!
