New look for Athearn HO EMD GP35 diesel road switcher

I purchased a Santa Fe GP35. I love the smoothness of the loco. It seems a bit more quiet than most Athearn engines. The front and rear pilots seem to set a bit lower than usual and catches track imperfections as it leans into elevated curves. I plan to file these areas down. I’m sure that will relieve the problem.
