- There is a MRR shop called Iron Horse, in Brea, CA. The store owner
- does some pretty decent machining work there, and he used to offer
- a modified Athearn-type frame that he made for the Bachmann DDA40X
- shell. As a vaguely recollect, it was done in much the same way the
- Proto-Power West frames were done. I believe he is listed in the back
- of some of the MRR mags, so try giving him a call if you are
- interested... -Greg (bigfoot@sequent.com)
