Installing The Locomotive Couplers
This RailKing One-Gauge locomotive is designed to accept 3 different types of G-Gauge
couplers - an MTH Remote Control Proto-Coupler
™
, an MTH hook & loop coupler or a
1/32nd Kadee coupler. For your convenience, the MTH Proto-Coupler
™
and the hook &
loop couplers have been included with your locomotive. The Kadee type must be the
1/32nd size and can be purchased from a Kadee coupler retailer.
Both the proto-coupler and the hook and loop coupler designs attach to the locomotive
trucks in the same manner as seen in Figure 1.
