Removing shell from a Bachmann SD70ACe sound value locomotive.

[StanAmes]

I have removed the front and rear couplers of the locomotive and the shell appears loose.  However it seems to get stuck just a little ways of the frame.  I checked the exploded diagrams but that did not help.

Any idea how to remove the shell completely?

Thanks

Stan

Whoever gives the big answer for this question will be helping me, too.

I called the Bachmann service department and got the answer.  Thanks goes to them for the answer.

1) remove the front and rear coupler by removing the screw and pulling the coupler and pocket out from the shell.

2) there are two additional screws that need to be removed.  One in front of the fuel tank on the firemans side and one behind the fuel tank on the engineers side.


Once these two additional screws are moved the shell easily lifts off.

Hope that helps
