Bachmann N scale SD40-2
Posted by Teditor on Saturday, February 22, 2003 3:31 AM
I am looking for a way to make one of these locos sit more prototypically on the trucks, at present they are very high, any suggestions - NO - not to get rid of it, I am attempting to assist a fellow modeller who does not have the resources to go Atlas or Kato etc at this stage.

I've seen people put extra strips of styrene just below the walkways painted to match the locomotive scheme. It's a good trick, as long as the trucks can turn on a curve, it should be ok.

One more note. Add at least 1 more step onto each end of the loco and it would look more like it's sitting lower.
