Ok so I managed to get a MTL coupler (903) into that pilot. It wasn't too difficult, I just have to remember when I remove the shell to start at the back and pull the rear of the frame Ok so I did add a MTL SD40-2 plow as well... Which I did have to file the bottom of the plow flush with the lip... Anyway, all I did was cut the box out of the pilot, filed the 903 lid a bit more square, and added strip styrene behind the steps to keep the coupler box level, and CA'd the 903 to that... I also still have clearance between the truck and coupler box (I did file the nub off the box)

I think I missed a chapter... What kind of pilot did you use for this conversion?

I posted that in the wrong thread... Lol. It's just the standard GP7/9-30 plow from AZL...

OK, but I'm still wondering about the pilot between the locomotive's shell and its snowplow... Dom
