Gents.A long time ago, the S Sig had a brief "quick look" at Lionel's U33.
Here is an excerpt:

Both pilots swivel with the trucks around curves. This design looks rather
toy-like, but it appears they could be firmly attached to the frame without
too much difficulty. My first thought is to use a piece of 1/16" thick black
plastic and cut it to the proper shape and then epoxy it to the underside of
the frame. Then attach the pilot parts to the plastic piece with epoxy or JB
Weld (if sufficiently strong) or with small screws (drilling and tapping
required). Eventually someone will actually do this and we'll have a better
idea of the difficulties involved, but it doesn't look particularly
difficult for an experienced modeler.
