I have done partial milling with a Dremel; not sure how much more can do. The
frame has had high saddles added. Maybe I can get a pix. DJE

Dave, I think the main problem will be is that the SHS switcher
products use the chassis as the floor walkway (textured metal) while the
AM's chassis is simply a platform for the shell that contains the walkway.
I would think the Railmaster/North Yard drive unit should be able to be
used. It's sold for the RS series of diesels plus several switcher
configurations.
