Old Atlas loco and Kadee's

[Anonymous]

I recently purchased an older Atlas sd35 in the yellow and white box. Anyway the engine runs great but it has the horn hook couplers that are mounted on the body with a single pin holding them on. There is no draft box on the loco that a kadee coupler would fit in. So how would i go about installing kadee's on this thing? I know it is going to require some fab work but seeing how these are popular engines i figure there are others out there who have probably done this many times. just figured i should try to get a little advice before i start hacking on this thing!

Thanks
John

Thanks for the good info chuck. I printed out the kadee install page. Looks like it will be easier to do than i thought.
