Nothing as fancy as a lot of these (wow!), but I recently installed a decoder and kadees on my Lionel dockside switcher.
Here's the 'before':
With the original couplers removed, there is a lot of nice flat real estate to mount the kadees:
After drilling with a pin vise and tapping the holes, the installed kadees look great. I used the 747 underset couplers, as the chassis mounting height was actually a bit low for the 740s. I normally use the metal gearboxes wherever possible, but this engine has its chassis tied to track ground, so I used the plastic ones here.
And the finished product:
Fun little engine, and I love a steamer with an operating front coupler!
