Does anyone have any experience with the Ernst gear set for the Athearn RDC? I am kitbashing a few into electic MU cars and was planning to use the Ernst set to get some better operation. The other choice is to use the chasis of a P1K RDC modified to fit the Athearn shell. (I would love to use a SPUD or Flea unit - but can't seem to find any and I think the cost would be a little prohibitive) <br /> <br />I am not using the P1K models for the EMU's as I am also planning to run RDC's into the commuter station - they would look just like RDC's with pantographs. My thought was to use the Athearn shell as it is marketly shorter and then do some body/roof work to hide the RDC roots. We'll see how it turns out. <br /> <br />
