FINALLY! Almost 3/16" lowered from the frame to the truck, and another 1/16" off the body mount posts. We now have matching body lines.
I had to file the side skirts a bit to clear the brake cylinder pistons. Now the front and rear stirrups will have to be glued on because the screws are too short, not to mention the they are not bent deep enough to go up in there that far. No biggie, glue will hold them just fine.
Calabrese is just typical upper management in a business of that size. Sits at a desk 90% of the time and the other 10% is in meetings, he probably don't even know how to read a ruler! Of course he'll say whatever to minimize the problem jus to get the customer to buy. The size of the gap in those units are that of 027 trains, not scale size equipment.
Glad I didn't buy a whole set, because my modification won't work on the powered units. Get the Sunset 3rd Rail units instead.
