Unless my eyes deceive me, it looks like the Katos have foot stirrups and the Bachmanns do not. From what I can tell this is not a difference between Amfleets I and II.

Its a matter of manufacturer, but these should be easily added to the Bachmann models.

"I modified my Bachmann trucks to roll just as well though."

Daniel, what did you do to accomplish this?  I know the Bachmanns roll like a brick...

I cut away as much of the plastic around the wheels as possible, leaving three contact points (the metal tab and two retaining points. I also thinned the retaining tabs into a knife edge so that there is less friction. Finally, I added a lot of conducting lube.
