A long time ago I detailed many Athearn BB locomotives. I recently took them out of storage and ran them on my grandsons little layout. Compared to his newer DCC locomotives they ran poorly. Digging thru boxes I found my workbench tools and gave them a standard tune up, and they ran better but still not as good as the new stuff.
My questions is, Can my old BB shells of SD40-2s, GP38-2s and some U-Boats be mounted on the new drives? I don't want to spend some big dollars to experiment with fitting the shells to updated mechanisms & frames and these older detailed locos hold a sentimental value.
