Recently bought EMD GP40 Chessie #4155 DCC Ready and can't figure out how to "open it" so I can install the DCC chip.

1. Remove the screws holding the coupler boxes in place. then remove the boxes. They slide out through the ends of the locomotive.

2. Gently pry off and remove the fuel tank cover.

3. Underneath the fuel tank cover there are two screws that hold the body shell to the chassis. Remove these and the body lifts right off.
