I'm sitting here with my attempt at retrucking an S-12 with SHS trucks. I got as far as taking up the 3/8" dufference in truck gear drives, but have never finished due to physical limitations. Maybe, someday. . . FWIW

They are black plastic (Delrin) and mount up in place of the Type B's that come on the S-12." Hi Gary! Are you in S scale too? If so, being you're in Farmington, that makes you the CLOSEST S scaler to me! Why shucks, we're only about an hour and a half apart!! Anyway, to the reply: Well, that would be an ideal solution... but I suspect the supply has long ago dried up. My hope is to come up with a sustainable replacement/fix. (i.e. A fix that doesn't depend on items no longer in production.) However, IF said replacement sideframes are still available, I'm definitely in the market! Andre Ming Patootey, OK
