Hi,
How do you remove the body of the current Bachmann GP 40 ?
I looked at the Parts & Service section, but it has the same exploded view that comes with the GP 40. It has no indication of how to take off the body.
I tried turning the locomotive over and inserting the blade of a small screwdriver between the body and the metal frame - - to see if I could release some tabs, if there are any. I repeated that several times; however, the body is stiff and I did not want to break it.
Do I have to remove the plastic fuel tank? I did not want to force it off in case it is fastened to the frame with screws. The exploded view does not even show the fuel tank!
This is my first day on this site, and it is because of this problem removing the GP 40s shell. I hope this question has not been asked before, but I did not want to search thru 289 pages of discussion questions.
Happy modeling, TomM
