Few Questions about Sunset M

[NW Modeling List]

I would try rolling the tender on track first.  Assuming you wouldn't be running your M on less than 22" radius curves you should be OK.  On my Sunset M, the front truck swivels about the same distance as the rear truck with the Kadee coupler box installed.   Kadee makes a #232 coupler box which may allow more play, but it will require a lot of work on a brass model.  It takes one center screw, so that means drilling and tapping a mounting hole. 

My M did not come with any paperwork.

  Hi all,
  Proud new owner of a like new, late run Sunset M #422. Several pressing questions...

  1. I purchased Kadee #5 couplers. This seems like it wont't work on the tender as the coupler box will hang below the height of the rear trucks. This doesn't allow for full motion swing. What should I use instead? How about for the front?


  2. DCC? How to install? I've never done a brass DCC installation before? Please give me as many details as you can?


  3. Paperwork? Did it come with some and could someone scan a copy of it for me if it did?


  Thanks for your time!


  Happy railroading,
