Ok started the shell swap and it got complicated. The SP K-Line is obviously much less advanced than the K-Line by Lionel WP engine. To do a full swap I’d have to remove everything from the silver WP frame and reattach it to the SP frame. This would also require me figuring out how to remove and reattach the lights from the WP and they seem to be glued.
rather than risking ending up with two non functional switchers I think I need to just go with the WP but need to replace the front coupler which is broken. I’m trying remove the SP coupler and use that but can’t get either one off. Any advice on how to do that without breaking them? Is the front coupler supposed to be a non-operating coupler or should it be like the rear coupler?(the SP has a fixed coupler in the front but that might just because it’s a super cheap DC version).
I also noticed the “On/Off” switch on the bottom of the WP. What is that for? Does it turn off the reverse function?(I didn’t get a manual with the WP).
Finally, how would I go about rewiring the WP to get it to run in series to slow it down?
