Hi Curt, welcome to the forum - lots of advice here. <br />I cut down an LGB Rio Grande bobber caboose years ago to fit onto a flat. I had the option of using electric or hand power and I opted for the latter. For me the main thing was the setting out of the task and making sure that everything was-or near as damn it-square. The cut was made with a very well used junior hacksaw blade that wouldn't touch metal but was good for plastic together with a very slow action and some filing afterwards. I didn't touch the chassis so I can't really say anything on that except you will have to be exact with it to get it running true. Good luck and enjoy. <br />Cheers, <br />Kim <br />[tup]
