I just got one of these in the recent Stout auction and would like to know what size screw is used to mount KD couplers. I am guessing a 2-56x3/8. TIA

I picked up the 2 pack of the same engine at the same auction. I also have the same question. Thanks for posting Dave.
My guess is metric... I can check on my GP40 when I get home.
Its a 2mm.

Mine is the Tri-Rail one; I used to live in south Florida and sometimes rode it. My boss at my employer (Broward County Transit) worked with them. For a short time I even had a Tri-Rail employee pass to help with one of the projects we were working on.
Wishful thinking; if only K-Line had done the Tri-Rail cars in their 21" product line. Odd that they did not as TR was one of the first to use the Bombardier cars in this country.
Follow-up: I removed the engine from the box to look it over real closely, no problems there. I noticed in a "hole" in the styrofoam cradle that contained a smoke fluid tube, plow pilot, and a set of three-rail rollers???? Anyway, packed in the little baggy with the pilot are the mounting screws for the couplers! Good, because the smallest metric screws that the hardware store had was 3mm.
