Convert an AC model To DC?

[Green_Elite_Cab]

The main complication with just swapping shells is that some of the details are different, and I'm not sure if the Marklin shell will fit over the Atlas frame. As I understand it, the X995 is a tad smaller (indeed, the "Americanization" of the body shell for safety purposes is the one reason that the X995 and the AEM7 don't entirely resemble each other).

I have a spare motor and I can get spare trucks, and hopefully I might be able to adapt them to the X995 frame. I suppose it doesn't make a difference until I can acquire such an engine for close up inspection, but I wasn't sure if it was worth the effort or not.
