Very inspirational Sarah !!! Ironically I just found one of these 2 days ago, when I was digging through unpacked cartons of trains looking for something else.... I was actually thinking about selling it off, but now after seeing your work, and reading through this thread, I think I'll put it together, weather it and run it. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Your directions on modifying the Atlas Andrews trucks are most appreciated, I have some of these trucks that I want to install on other rolling stock, and you articulated a great way to solve the mounting, and height issues.
