I dont have the whole locomotive, was just given the tender to figure out how to get a kadee on it. No drilling or cutting required (save for the coupler wires). Used the body mount screws for the tender, printed a block of ABS around all the obstructions and also filled in the rear beam of the tender. I didnt drill and tap the frame to mount the kadee. I used heat set inserts so the load of the whole train wasn't reliant on small screws hanging onto the plastic. A fairly easy one to do. Kinda surprised lionel didnt just supply a mount with these.
