Yes, that is something I am rethinking. To me it makes more sense to package the sideframes with the chassis and not with the body kit. Hopefully as things move forward I will make this change.

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.
