That's my point. It's not an easy job, especially if you don't have the proper tools. If you're going to open up the holes in the brackets and glue nuts behind them to accept a machine screw, it will take precision to achieve a good result. It would be easier to do this with the brackets off of the train. I guess you could do one at a time and stand the loco on end until the glue dries. But if you're not careful you could end up with glue all over everything, or right back in the same place with holes that don't line up.
