2-8-0 Spectrum: Removing motor circuitboard

[medicalscout]

What is the best way to access the circuit board on top of the motor on a Bachmann 2-8-0 outside frame spectrum? Any help is much appreciated!

Remove the boiler/cab assembly.

Look at exploded diagram G812X-IS003 that came with your locomotive. You will note the motor is mounted in a vertical position.  Once the boiler/cab assembly is removed the motor is right out there in the open.

I take it you are making reference to PCB 04 that is attached to the motor leads. Since the motor is right out in the open with the brush end pointing up it's easy to unsolder the PCB.
