Rich,
Your modification of the 2-rail pilot looks fantastic. I’ve been wrestling with this exact issue in connection with a pair of 2-rail MTH F7’s I recently acquired, and I’m very interested in learning exactly how you did the mod.
Did you first measure the amount of the pilot skirt-corner you wanted to trim in order to get the angle you desired? If so, I’d like to know exactly how much of the skirt-corner you measured to trim off.
Also, did you use a rotary tool grinder to do the trimming, or did you use another method?
The hoses/cables you added to the pilot front look terrific. Whose did you use and how did you attached them? Simply with adhesive, or did you actually drill into the pilot to mount them?
And thanks for sharing your always excellent and expert modeling work with the rest of us!
