Highliners shell on a Genesis frame

[riss2509]

I'm starting my first F unit project and have picked up a Genesis complete F A unit at a great price, a Highliners F B unit kit with Genesis B unit frame also at a decent price. Knowing these shells was meant for the blue box frames with the side lugs but want to try and use the Genesis frame. The A unit shell fits loose on the frame, with not having any experience with these units how do they fasten to the frame? Any reccomendations on how to accomplish this? Thanks!

Athearn's Genesis line of F units used the Highliners shell for their factory production, so it should fit just like factory.

The only difference is that Athearn uses a side window insert that has a set of molded on locking tabs to anchor it to the chassis. You might be able to obtain the glass from Athearn or Highliners (note the top right of the instruction sheet) ....
