    Here is my Sunday's work . This is my first steam locomotive on the ACTRR.
    Got it decaled and decoderized as well as the MT couplers on both ends. The good news it , it still runs good!!

    Mike:

    I'm happy to hear you found a loco you like.
    Did you install a decoder in it as yet?

    You did a nice job on the decaling and front coupler on the pilot.

    Stay cool and run steam.... [​IMG] :cool: :cool:

    Bob , Yes , I have the decoder in and used the boiler mount method and a DZ143. I also used a 1015 on the front and the rear. Lots of careful trimming!!

    Mike:

    The next time you install a coupler on the front pilot try a MT Z scale #905. It requires much less trimming.

    The MT #905 Z scale coupler looks more in proportion to the front pilot and they mate well with any MT N scale coupler.
