I've heard some Athearn chassis's will fit. I have one that almost fits, but the semi-low nose Athearn holds the Tyco shell up about 1/8 inch. So some weight removal in the front and rear areas will be necessary to make this chassis work under a Tyco shell, because the Tyco low nose shell is probably a bit TOO low. Not sure. But it's close enough it can be made to fit with some metal removal.
