HELP hOw does one mount a Kadee to the front of a Sunset B&O 2-8-0

Can you shoot some photos of the undercarriage and the front of the pilot?

 Hmmm, I don't see the type of couplers that are available in the other scales. Here's a G scale one for example:

 You might have to make up something?? they do sell ones that you can modify.

Often times a brass steam pilot will require some inventiveness to mount a working Kadee. A fully functional Kadee may be difficult to achieve, but partial operation might be possible.

Well Gents here are some pixs. It is a 1/4" from the pilot truck frame to the face of the pilot. I'm thinking a modified #806 might work.

SooNut,

You might look at a long shank Kadee 746 with a screw or pin through the coupler into the front beam, with the back of the shank cut off.

Looking at the underside of the pilot, it looks like the one to use would be a Kadee 743 short-shank (the much better looking version of the 806). You'd have to carefully drill and tap the pilot beam to mount the box but it looks like there's enough room for the back of the box to clear the pilot wheels. A standard Kadee box will be too big.
