As far as I know, it will fit Stewart, Intermountain and of course, Athearn Genesis. It will not fit the Blue Box chassis without modification if at all.

Can Highliners shells fit on Intermountain, Stewart, and blue box chassis ? I have used the Stewart chassis under several Highliner shells and the only problem I ever had was with the two front sideframes wanting to bump the two front steps when turned. Otherwise, it's an almost perfect fit. Bob |

It will not fit the Blue Box chassis without modification if at all. Funny, the B-unit shell I bought when they first came out fit on an Athearn chassis just fine. I do see where I cleaned a bit off the body mounting tab, but perhaps stripping the black coating from the frame and repainting would have done the job too... Mainline Modeler had a photo shoot of one of these (B unit) painted in Santa Fe warbonnet colors, very much an Athearn BB chassis (the rivets on the steel plate behind the sideframes were visible. IIRC, these were originally designed to fit the Athearn (with improved sideframes) chassis or Stewart. I think the LifeLike P1K chassis will fit with a bit of trimming as well. |
