I'm doing what the OP did: using a modified Atlas/Kato SD7. He wanted an FL9; I'm using the old Rivarossi C-liner shell over mine. The OP found he could swap out one 3-axle SD truck with a 2 axle SD/GP truck on the Atlas/China \version. Wondering if it works for the Atlas/Kato set. The gear tower in this GP truck is as tall as the gear tower in the SD truck, apparently. I'll be using the side frames from the RR loco on the new loco.
Would the Atlas/China SD chassis accept an Atlas H16-44 truck?
In 2012, I went through this exercise to find the perfect chassis for my CNR passenger 5 axle C-liners.Figured it out too! Have an article that is waaaay overdue.But here is an image of the chassis in progress. It runs like a charm! 3 axles are powered and 5 offer power pickup.
