@Martin H posted:nice work. i love seeing stuff lowered to more prototypical. I am not familiar with this car, but in general Atlas makes its rolling stock difficult to lower.
Thanks Martin....
I found that as well..... I get rid of the stock under-carriage and scratch build my own. I find that I can determine the correct ride height based on the Prot:48 trucks and the couplers. On this build the insides of the shell are smooth and I added .080 X .080 strip to the proper depth to get the correct ride height.... the under frame mounts to that.
