Sure wish A-C hadn't glued everything together, but I got her done anyway, with the exception of changing the headlights to LED's.

Here's what I was attempting to replicate:

Very nicely done, Jim. Great weathering.

Nice work Jim!

Which Kadee did you use? It is a much neater installation than my 1787s.

I was unable to get the pilots off to remove the return spring bracket.

I used the 820's with a lot of carving on the box and coupler to allow for reverse 1600 curves in my layout. I couldn't get the pilots off either, that's why I decided to cut out the centering spring support to get access to the A-C coupler support.

I had to cut up alittle to get my 789 at the right heigth.

Jim nice installation.
You may have answered a query I have about the Airwire antenae. Is it ok to have it a little off the absolute vertical?

Rod, all of my installs have the antenae at approximately this angle and I get over 150 feet of control.

That will do nicely. Thanks Jim.

Rod, I have one AW install that is horizontal, inside the tender, I still get great reception with it.
