	Fig 1: To remove the body shell, first remove the couplers. Then the shell can be pulled and rocked upward and off.
	Fig 2: Remove the two jumpers in the NMRA socket. I also replaced the yellow LED’s with Golden White LED’s. You have to remove the board and replace the resistor (a surface mount chip resistor marked 271) and replace it with a 500 to 1K ohm resistor.
	Fig 3: The MC2 can be purchased with an NMRA plug attached in different lengths. I made this one with a plug kit. Once it’s plugged in, put the shell and couplers back on and it’s ready to go.
