This was used on the front of a Lionel 0-8-0. I have used the same method to mount them to the trucks of both steamers and diesels temporarily. Remove the coil coupler. Get a piece of brass or aluminum stock that will fit tightly into where the coil coupler came out. Leave the tabs in place. Drill and tap a hole in the stock for I believe a 10 32 screw. This will mount right where you removed the T pin for the stock coupler and should provide a tight fit. Now you just need to get the length you need and tap two 2 56 holes to mount the Kadee. You will then need to shim the Kadee or the mount you made to the proper height. The coupler will pivot with the truck and should pose no problems on 036. You will need to do your switching on straight portions only. Body mounting the couplers on your rolling stock should pose no issues. You can fix the Kadee’s to the engines chassis or body. Unfortunately in most cases. There’s no going back. Most times you have to remove the coil couplers mount in order to gain clearance.
This is on an MTH DL 109.
