I hated to do it

[DT&J]

I think I need a Kadee #39 to make this right but the "she who must be obeyed" said I cant get them until after Christmas. I did have the couplers wired together, drawbar didnt work out, so a lego died just so I could run the SD40

Here it is all together

The SD is by GSB Rail Limited, now out of business, Athearn got their SD40 out first and the GSB has a plastic frame that was prone to twist. Found that out after I bought it so I guess I'll "run 'er till she blows"

User error. No instructions came with it, I put the holder in upside down.

Sounds like something I would do! haha

I have two of the gold UP units as well - will probably end up on Evil Bay...
