Body Mount Couplers for Atlas 33,000 gal Tank Cars

I have finally acquired one of the long sought after ACFX 33,000 gallon tank cars after taking a picture of one in Chetwynd years ago.  i am wondering how to go about body mounting MT couplers and would like to ask if anyone has done it and could possibly show me how.

Thank you,

Tim

P.S.  Hope to find other road numbers some day.

our own @GaryHinshaw has been doing a lot of body mount tank cars lately on his Tehachipi BC blog.  You might start there - I don't think he's done the 33K tank per se but the methods should be applicable.
