I still have a few to do. From what I remember. I used one of the holes that was used for piping on the inside tanks. Was perfect to line up and center the Kadee. You just needed to drill one more hole to secure it. Not sure. I believe you had to notch the body a bit to get the proper height.

This USB exactly the way I designed them, to use the screw hole in the floor for the rear centerline hole in the Kadee box!

I also have a second set of holes to allow the user to place them at more scale distance apart, as well, with the buffers barely touching, but before coupler tension.

I measured the end sill at exactly the height needed per the height gauge, but we'll see how they come from Shapeways. But, that's also for the 3-rail trucks, so I bet you're right about the height.

Thanks,

Mario
