Subject: Re: {S-Scale List} Railmaster pewter bodies of RS-1 and Rs-2/3

Tom,

My guess is that they won't fit, although I have only worked on one of 
RM's SW switcher bodies several years ago.  The RS bodies are similar in 
design so I suspect the same mis-match.  The problem is, that parts of 
the Am chassis are duplicated by the Railmaster body, but you can't 
eliminate one.  You need the basic chassis  for the Am drive and you 
need to us the RM  rim of their chassis for cosmetic reasons.  Very much 
like combining a Chevy and a VW bug because they're both cars.

As I wrote in my article in the NASG Dispatch, the Railmaster drive 
system is at least as good as AM's and it's designed to fit.  Why ruin a 
great thing.
