No! If he knew what he was doing, he wouldn't be asking. Easy for you to say do this or do that when you have NOTHING in it. If the thing ends up junk, no skin off your nose.

I normally don't do this, but I'm going to this time--please read what Christopher wrote before going off on him--the only specific action he recommended was for the other member to remove the trailing truck from the engine...which will hardly be a cataclysmic event.
Nothing he wrote seemed reckless or inappropriate, and we're all big kids here--and we should all be able to read a variety of replies on a forum and make a personal judgment about whether to proceed before doing anything to modify any model--and if something goes wrong the responsibility is easy to assign, as any advice is free and should be considered carefully before attempting any modifications to anything.
I admire a lot of the people here, but I find it to be a very safe statement to say that Christopher's modeling skills and layout building ability might be tops on the entire forum...bar none.
He's a sharp guy and he knows his stuff, and I've never known him to be anything but helpful to other forum members.
