SD7/9/18/24/35s are all the same length. They're no larger than 4-axle U-boats, and should have no problem on 18".

i to just bought a athern gp40-2 blue box and the front truck makes a noise that's sounds like running one truck is off the track ,but it was on track and when i run it back wards it runs quite , but when i run forward it makes that nosie again i just what throw it at the wall but i have'nt done that yet. i took a look at the gears and lubed them and it still makes that noise , what should i do ?
athern is now using plastic worm gears instead of brass , has anyone noticed that ?
also athern quite makeing metal handrails i hate plastic handrails dont you. if you athern they will send you the replacement parts just give them a call

Another thing, the Metal handrails are OK, not great, but OK, considering how much time i spent on my Atlas SD24 with the handrails
