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

"Right after I bought my AM S-12, someone (I can't remember who) produced the 
correct AAR Type A sideframes for the S-12. 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!
