The below link "might" help. There are three Kato's in there, just not yours. The frames "might" be similar.

Store the link in Favorites. Look at all his pages as he has a lot of good DCC info. Bruce use to own Litchfield Station.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.

Check the fuel tank.  Late run Kato's have a place for a speaker in the fuel tank.

I could not find any photos on Kato's web page to check.

Everyone, store the link in Favorites. You might need it in the future.

Thanks for you response, but I have no idea what you mean.  Cut the light tube and mount LED to the baffle?  Sounds very foreign.  Thanks...
