Body mounted ka-dee on USA's wood sided caboose

Has any one come up with a way to body mount g ka-dees to this unit?

USA Trains R12021 Sumpter Valley Woodsided Caboose, Collection Item

I don’t know if this helps you or not Sean.

I have a similar caboose.

If yours has the 2 center beams, I screwed a piece of PVC over those and mounted the K-Dees to that.

Sorry about it being out of focus, but that was the third try…(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)

I use a similar method to body mount to Aristo Classic cars. I made up a bunch of PVC/Styrene shims, painted them black, then I glue those to the frame rails. Coupler boxes then screw to the PVC shim.

There is a complete how-to thread on here somewhere that these pictures are from.

EDITed to fix missing / duplicate picture.
