As much as I'm an Atlas loyalist, the Bachmann design for the universals and truck towers is better, certainly quieter. If it had true ears/wipers instead of wipers to the frame sides it would be truly excellent.
The wipers could be better BUT... I cleaned the frame pad with a few wipes with 1000 grit and put a little Conducta-lube on those faces and they've run very well for quite a while now. The trucks just pull out of the frame so it's easy to get at those pads but also, a little sliver of paper with some conduct-lube on it can be slid between the frame and wipers very easily with everything in place.
Is that riser for traction motor blower ducting? I know that's the story behind it on later units.
It's the old Chrome "insecure site" problem again. It worked for me earlier today, but somehow my browser got the setting reset. On a PC you can fix it, on a tablet or phone you cannot.
