How do you get the 45 ton centercabs' cab off?

I have 4 SD40-2's and they all have a bit of a wobble. Anyone else have this and is there a fix?

Hey Mr. Bachmann, now that the N scale 70 tonner is offered in three different phases, is there a chance the HO version be offered in two more phases as well ? <lv4142003>

I just wrote and put this up on the Atlas N scale site, probably should have came here first, but.....

"I went to MB Kleins site and saw that they are offering the new N scale Bachmann 70 tonners. I looked at the photos and they look terrific. However, and this is not a complaint but rather a compliment, there appear to be several body styles. The real 70Ts came in only 3 phases. Ph I (A70T) had a round headlight and no grill on the front - Ph II (B70T) had a rectangular headlight and the grill on the front - Ph III (C70T) had a rectangular headlight that the glass was set flush with the sheetmetal on the front and had louvers stamped in (like hot rod louvers - not openings with seperate slats).

To the Bachmann units. If the photos are correct the Bachmann 70 tonners are being offered in the following phases:

82053 - Green undec - Ph I (produced '46 to mid '49)

82052 - Red undec - Ph II (produced '49 to '57 - last year of domestic production)

82054 - Yellow w/Black undec - same Ph II as 82054

82051 - Black undec - Ph II variation produced and sold only to Canadian National (18 or so units)for use on its Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island lines - Ph II body with Ph I round headlight.

I will have to get one of each,(or more)as I really like these little things, but it will be interesting to see what others do to them. Ph III's were all export units and the Bmann doesn't offer it. However some of the other 2 phases were modified for certain railroads, like the Southwest Portland Cement Co. they had 3 or 4 units with dynamic braking and so had the hoods extended accomodate that and did away with the front porch. US Potash bought 3 - 3 ft. narrow gauge units that had longer frames to accomodate six axle trucks and had no pilots or steps. Steps were on the frames in line with the center wheel of the truck. GE proposed a half dozen to the East Broad Top RR, here in Pennsylvania, on 3 ft. narrow gauge trucks, with the cabs lowered 6 inches and a reduced weight of 60T. And last, SP's Little Giant - used on the Keeler branch - was another 3 ft. narrow gauge unit that came in at 50 tons with the cab lowered all the way down to the frame with the air brake equipment in a box on the frame in front of the cab, and it was painted in the SP's modern paint schemes (Black with silver nose and cab end and stripes on the frame rail) before being sold to a company in Mexico. I hope those photos do show what is being offered. Can we get a confirmation from Bachmannthat they are offering 3 phases..
How about it Mr. Bachmann, are they being offered in 3 different phases? Lv4142003

Did Bachmann make a GE E60C - NOT a AMTRAK E60CP - for the Black Mesa &  Lake Powell RR? If so, about how long ago? Did they run well? Thanks in advance Joe Hueber

Mr. B-mann, what is the part number for the FT shell on the "Grinch who stole Christmas" set? Thanks <lv4142003>
