You drill a new hole in the draft gear, where the red dot is:

The red dot is where you drill the new hole and use the original Aristo Screw.

This is on my site.

I removed the Aristo coupler entirely.


Drill the hole in the Kadee where the red spot is (it is slightly off center). The dimple (recess) is where the red spot is.


Stick the screw through the hole and back into the original Aristo post. I'm not understanding the confusion.

Glad it worked out Ward!

If you have suggestions to make my site more clear, just drop me an email!

Yep, on my site, where I have that picture, I note it's not exactly right.

I now have 2 kadee gauges like you do Ted, with one of each type.

I knew you would catch me Ted ha ha!

Since it is only a post, just trimming the post a bit will be fine.

I think I may do something better in the future, I want to study the side travel required. I might use the Kadee "swivel" arrangement. I would really prefer to have it fill the "entrance" better.

The only time I will use it is when it is coupled to the RDC-1, but it seems that this was the most typical lashup on the Santa Fe!

Would love to see the picture Rex. As far as I can tell, Santa Fe only had 2 RDC-1's and rebuilt one with a baggage compartment. Road numbers m-191 and m-192,

Try that link again?
