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.
