Good Morning
Rain and fog here,it just looks miserable out there.
I finished a decoder install on a Atlas yellow box SD24 and found it needed a different style coupler. I looked it up and the chart said KaDee 143 whiskers would work and by golly I had a couple pair. I did however have to cut much of the coupler boxes off in the rear to allow the trucks to swing and I also had to cut out the molded on coupler box so they would fit. It worked perfectly and runs very well. I decided then to install a sound decoder in a brass Q2. It went so well that I am afraid to put it on the track.
I will know in a little while if it works, I am being leery.
I searched for classified documents in the train room and didn't find any so I am in the clear.
Cheers
Charlie
