Thanks Ron! I put it off for a while. I also was replacing my Digitrax sound decoder’s speaker with a small sugar cube from ESU and it is SO much better. I also replaced both the LEDs with a tiny wired led I was suggested from Amazon. I’m so excited to run it at the next club show!
I found screwing the coupler in with the microtrains screws worked better than the retention clip but none the less, an easy method of replacing the couplers
OH! So I ended up getting the 2004 and apparently Kato has change the way they do things. Not all models can use this same style. I have two fairly new Gevos from Kato and they are too high and I apparently need 1015 models.
Yes, because they are under slung. You need to either use the internal parts from a 2001 in the box of the 2004 or file the 2001 on the outside to fit.
Most interesting to me was the little foam repair stand he’s working in.
Thanks so much for the short visual example. Works great 👍 👌 👏 😀

Awesome Advice Mr. Ron of Ron's Trains n' Things

Exactly what I did with my Kato SD40-2, it worked perfectly!
Very useful ron very interesting
Hello Ron it's is randy and I like your video is cool thanks friends randy
You've just confirmed why I chose HO scale. The tiny parts on the trains doesn't outweigh the larger layouts in the same space. 😉

2004's were too high on my Kato 4400's too. I need a few of 1015 and 2004
Hey Ron wanna do a tutorial on how you built the foam stand!!??
I made one 6 years ago. Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/xgZJg_clr6U/w-d-xo.html
Hi Ron - I did this on my Kato Diesel and the 2004-1 couplers are sitting too high. Any suggestions?
Yes, because they are under slung. You need to either use the internal parts from a 2001 in the box of the 2004 or file the 2001 on the outside to fit.
Use a 1015
@@RonsTrainsNThings this would have been great to know :(
Can you please make it to a normal video so I can save the video in my playlist? Still will be some years until I will be able to build my layout :)

Not cot o its kay toe
No, it's not...not according to the Japanese owners
It is indeed Kah-toe, not Kay-toe.
