@ThatGuy posted:on another note, I have been given as a gift a set of proto 1 centipedes, I know both engines have to be set up as two independent engines married together, what did you do/use to get rid of the so called coupler that was originally installed.
Piece of cake, I have the same ones I'm about to convert to Legacy. Look at the trucks, they have a standard truck with a standard coupler mount. You just have to break out the Dremel and modify the pilot for the new coupler. I have a bag with the RCMC boards and two RS-Lite Centipede boards sitting on my bench waiting for me to get to it.
Remove posts at green arrows, mount coupler on standard mount at red arrow. You can unscrew the attachment posts and then whack the remaining posts. You may need a longer coupler I forget if I used a 2" one or the longer DASH-9 couplers. I did this mod for a customer with a single Centipede so he could use it as a standard locomotive.
