MT 1015 coupler on a Life Like SW9
I have a Life Like SW9 that was equiped with rapido couplers.
I still don't understand how, but last sunday I realised that the rear coupler and the parts holding both front and rear couplers on the locomotive are lost ( I didn't even seen on the tracks because i modved my layout several times that day ). What makes me even more upset is that I was careful with the way I handled my locomotives. I'm sure the loco didn't fall.
Those parts are 2 small plastic retainers ( see the picture below ).
I thought: "no problem because I have 2 Micro-Trains 1015 and that's the recommended coupler suggested on the Micro-Trains list for several Life-Like locomotives ".
The problem is that the 2 plastic retainers that I lost are required to install the MT 1015 coupler.
So the question:
Can I install the MT 1015 on the Life-Like SW9 ( and GP20, GP38 ) using the screw and the shim enclosed in the MT 1015 coupler package ?
Here is the pic of the plastic retainer.
NOTE : That pic is not from me, it's from the Nscale.net website.
