Mounting Couplers on Sunset GG1 | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Hello,

I’m having difficulty mounting couplers on a Sunset GG1. It appears that there is only one mounting hole under each pilot, which are untapped. Does anyone know what size they are, as the screws sent to me by Sunset are too small. Looks like a Kadee 806 is necessary because there is limited clearance behind the pilot. Any suggestions? Thank.

I never hesitate to just re-tap the existing holes for a 2-56 screw.

2 mm also works well.
