What happened to the front Coupler?

I replaced the 3 rail pilot with the included 2rail pilot. I'm finishing my E7 modifications before I get to the PA. Once I have the time I will fabricate a prototypical UP front Pilot door assembly. Then I will repaint the pilot, tanks, and trucks to the gray appropriate for the period of 1946-1954. It will match the GGD yellow harrimans which already have the gray trucks correct for the same period.

I commend Scott and 3rd rail for making such a thoughtful and easy set up to do it. The lobster claw front coupler unplugs easily and two screws to remove it. Took 60 seconds. Brilliant.

Switching both dual lights to a single light for each will take a little more skill and patience........
