----- Original Message ----- From: Edward Davis Tom, I've been trying to figure out how to do that for months. How did you handle the coupler situation? Did you separate the flasher from the HO coupler? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > No. My first car with FRED / EOTD was a boxcar. I got an HO unit from Ring Engineering and put the HO coupler with the device on one end of the car. Some S scalers still use "HO" couplers. The battery & circuit I put inside the car. Unfortunately, they are not cooperative and will not sell the unit without the HO truck. It looks approximately OK. See http://www.ringengineering.com/EotDevice.htm
The Gunderson Husky Stack I just did was based on a gift from a customer. He made the flasher circuit himself on some circuit board and somehow attached a little flasher to a little stick and the stick to a KD S- scale coupler. I presume it's held on with super glue. Both couplers appear to still be totally functional, so a switcher can couple on to the back of the train whenever necessary.

Not all intermodal cars are owned by TTX Co, and there are hundreds of container owners. Just new things to learn. "No cabesse," but my latest project was to put a Flashing Rear End Device on a double-stack car, with the 9V battery & circuit board hidden inside the bottom container.
