Detailing the Athearn SD45T-2 (Part 16)

Now comes the tricky part. We must thread the mu hose clusters and trainline hose through the openings in the plow. At this point you could remove the coupler if you plan to replace it with a Kadee #58, this will allow a bit more room to mount the Details West plow. Note: The train line hose should go between the double set of plow bracket on the conductor's side.

Once the plow is mounted, make sure that the rear of the brackets mount flush against the face of the pilot. We will wait until painting to bed the hoses down against the plow. Just be careful not to knock them around when handling the model, or they will break!
