capacitor will fit in the cab area. The rear headlight LED can be
glued inside the shell or glued to the rear of the speaker.
Connect the wires from the LEDs to the DCC decoder. Keep the
wires as short as possible so there is less wire to fit inside the
shell. Insulate all your solder joints, and test the decoder and
lights to make sure everything is working. Place the shell on
the chassis and install the screws which hold it in place. Install
the couplers; if you used the Details West scale coupler buffers,
file the sides of the Kadee couplers following the Details West
directions. I used Kadee 153 couplers with the trip pins cut off.
If you do not plan to cut off the trip pin, you will need to use a
long-shank coupler on the front. If you used the Details West
scale coupler buffer you can cut off the front part of the Proto
2000 coupler boxes and use the rear part to hold the couplers
in place. Dry-brush the couplers with a bit of roof brown paint.
