MTH autorack and MTH EOT device/Fred | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

YardmanOGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

Decided to try a little project today. I always wanted an EOT device on the end of my autorack consist, but the EOT trucks are to short to fit. So, I disassembled an MTH EOT device. I removed the coupler from the truck , then replaced the truck on the autorack with the EOT truck. Those six little springs were quite a task getting them back on the truck. Then I fastened the coupler with the EOT to the end of the autorack car. Thought I would have to splice the wires, but thankfully they were long enough. Took me awhile, but I am pleased with the outcome.
