Hello
First post here--lurked for awhile, like what I see.
I recently completed a build of a Bowser Casey Jones 10-wheeler. Apparently It is an update of the old Varney kit. It was fun to build, and not difficult to convert to DCC. It runs really well, so I want to install Kadee couplers and see how it pulls.
I seem to remember reading somewhere in the mists of time that one should not install Kadee #5s on metal frames that pick up current, like the tender of this kit. However, the Kadee site mentions #5s for both Bowsers and Varneys. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.kadee.com/conv/holist.pdf">http://www.kadee.com/conv/holist.pdf</a><!-- m -->
Bowser's website mentions installing a #4 in the pilot but nothing about the tender. Anyone install Kadees on one of these? Which one did you use? How did you do it?
Thank you,
Gary
