Has anyone put a High Level chassis into a K's 14xx body?

[97xx]

I seem to have found myself with an Airfix 14xx - a complete but very dodgy runner, a High Level 14xx chassis kit I intended for the prior, and now a K's 14xx complete kit.

 

I tried various fixes on the Airfix as I'm a bit attached to it, being the first 'detailed' RTR I ever bought, but concluded  a decent chassis was worth the effort.

 

So, do I stick to Plan A - HL into Airfix, and try to build the K's but with probably improved wheels/motor?

 

Or Plan B - HL into Airfix, and another HL into K's?

 

Umm...?

The K's kit can make a nice loco but beware that the footplate is something like 2mm too short at the front end. 

 

The HL chassis was actually designed with the Airfix body in mind,  so my advice would be to stick with that combination.
