As with using the N-drive chassis is any kit designed for an Ibertren, Bachmann or Arnold, the main problem is getting the body to sit low enough to the rails.
The motor in the N-drive chassis is somewhat higher than the motor in the older chassis so quite a lot of work is needed on the body or the loco will look like it is obviously too high above the rails.

There were two versions of the Stenning Kit. The earliest one was for the Ibertren chassis, but when this was discontinued, Rodney revamped the kit for the Bachmann Docksider chassis. Therefore, if you have the later version of the kit, you may find there is as much work required to make the Ibertren fit, as to go for the n-drive chassis.

Since I converted my version to fit a modified Farish Prairie chassis (around 1996, so I guess it was the first version of kit) I cannot comment on how to identify either type!
