Acela nose

Is there any way to mount a coupler in the nose of an HO acela, so i can have it towed along, like it was to Hornell?

Since the nose cap of the Bachmann model is a separate piece, you could pop it off and then cut out an opening that you could fit a coupler box into. You would probably need to use one of the special Kadee couplers to get the height correct, and you would also have to figure out a new way to clip the nose cap back on if you want to be able to cover up the coupler when you're not using it.
