Jerry,
The Micro-Trains coupler conversion is not difficult. Start by removing the
body shell from the frame, and set the frame aside.
Turn the body shell upside down and you'll see a small plastic clip holding
the Rapido coupler arm in place. With a small screw driver pry gently on one
side of the plastic retaining clip. It should pop right out.
The Rapido coupler will now be free and should fall right out.
Now slide the assembled MTL 1015 coupler box through the front pilot hole
and secure it with one of the 90-00 screws provided in the conversion kit.
Depending upon the length of the mounting screw included in the conversion
kit, you may have to shorten it slightly before use. The 90-00 screw will
fit right into the center hole normally used by the pin on the retaining
clip you've removed.
Repeat the entire process for the coupler at the other end of the
locomotive.
Slide the body shell back onto the motor frame and you're ready to go...
Best regards from Milwaukee, WI U.S.A.

Ancient of days! august Athena! where,
Where are thy men of might? thy grand in soul?
Gone--glimmering through the dream of things that were.
