Hi, new to this forum but not to N scale. Hoping to tap into some collective wisdom from other N-scalers.
I want to create some specific Australian locos which have different lengths and bogie styles, and was looking at the current Atlas mechanisms which seem to share a similar arrangement of bogie and chassis. I was wondering if anyone has tried mixing different bogies with different chassis and can tell me which will fit and which will not, for example can I fit FM Trainmaster bogies to a GP38 chassis, or even more radically fit SD7/9 bogies to a modified VO1000 chassis.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
