Don has a couple of theories and if you are running Athearn motive power he recommended using offset's on the Athearn. "COMMENT: may I recommend KD #47, #37 or #27 with offset's for your Athearn equipment, October 1,2004". Here's something else. http:www.trainbuddy.com/Notes/Notes.htm and click on Budd. I'm running my Budds Amtrak/UP with #26 at both ends and offsets on various locos. I saw a brief comment in Oct. MR about the Kato bi-level and ordered a Amtrak Coach/Cab(Waiting for arrival). Will add light and revenue paying passengers. I experimented running my Budds in push with a Walthers F40PH. Surprise-surprise; no de-railments. There was a time I couldn't keep these babies on the track around the 22" curve in pull. I got excited about the BLI CZ obs car running it as a private car but the Amtrak bi-level is a better fit. Hope the info helps.
