I've been wanting to install a Digitrax DN143K2 into my Kato EH-200 for a month now and finally I was able to contact a user o. JNS who helped me out with great pictures and advice link below. I'll be posting my own pics shortly.

DIY Monday Kato foam locomotive cradle
Today I happened upon a YouTube video of a guy working on a locomotive and he had a cool locomotive cradle. I realized that the person had used foam inserts from cases like the one from Kato and other companies. I've always wanted a cradle that was easy to hold and was secure enough to hold a loco and comfortable to hold and manipulate the locomotive into different positions. I used inserts from Kato bookcases that Ive gotten over time and came up with the cradle in the pics below. I used hot glue because Elmers wouldn't stick the pieces together.

Working on the EH200 today.
Today I took out the EH200 with the intention just of running it but I decided afterward to install the details on it. So I took out the details and started to add them, Antennas, Grab Irons and number boards I did the whole nine yards lol. Although most of the details went on without effort the grab irons were a pita. I lost two of the grab irons off the sprue that flew into outer space but an hour after it went missing I found a grab iron and successfully installed it lol. Below are a couple of pics after all the details were installed.

I installed light units in the GM JR 103 Series Cab Units
These GreenMax JR 103 Series are getting a workout that's for sure. I recently installed the GreenMax [ 8361 ] Headlight Unit A [Incandescent-like Color] into a couple of cab units.
