All,
Received a couple of Spectrum DD40AX units (thanks Absnut) and need to know if there is a well documented method to lower the units to correct walkway height. I would like to match the Kato SD40-2 walkway in this "Fast Forty Sandwich".
Also, is there anyone with experience correcting the truck mounted pilots and at what minimum radius? My plan is to use JnJ and/or Alan Curtis TTX flats with these units (like the prototype) so the derailing of truck mounted short shanks on boxcars would be avoided. I suppose I can leave ONE pilot unmodified if necessary, but that just feels so WRONG.
