<p>What is a good method for cutting down the weight in something like the narrow body locos? I have several to do next..a GP18 first. For my first two or three I have just hacksawed out chunks by hand. Is there a good/better hand-held tool, power or otherwise to do the job?</p><p>or.... </p><p>I'm not sure how expensive something like a hobby sized metal-cutting floor or table bandsaw or jig saw would be, or if they would even work better. But now I am moving to a bigger location and so may even consider a more permanent cutting/milling tool for all these conversions. </p><p>Thanks.</p>
