Figure 5: Pre-drilled Kadee® Coupler mounting holes
All 2-rail locomotive models do
not come with a rear coupler since
many 2-rail enthusiasts may utilize
different coupler types on their 2-
rail locomotives and cars. Each
tender does have pre-drilled holes
for use when installing a Kadee®
scale coupler as seen in Figure 5.
Follow the individual coupler
installation instructions when
installing another manufacturer’s
coupler system.
Owners of 2-rail models who intend to run this locomotive on a 3-rail layout will
find a M.T.H. Proto-coupler and bracket packed in the styrofoam box so that they
may enjoy remote uncoupling action anywhere on a layout. Simply remove the
Kadee® Coupler Bracket. Attach the Proto-coupler and bracket to the rear truck
with the supplied screws and connect the Proto-coupler wire inside the tender.
