USA GP-7 body mounts couplers

General Discussion
#1

Any good articles on body mounting K/D’s to a GP-7 (USA)
Also need a battery that would fit inside, I run two GP’s together.
I have a Milwaukee 2.4 in a battery car now and get about 1 hour run time.

Thanks
Don

Kadee 1787s mount nicely on the GP-7/9.

There is an article on our club web site about adding radio control and battery power to this locomotive.
