Can anybody tell what size of screwdriver is needed to remove the couplers from the newer dash8s. . . .

Not trying to be a smart-Alec, but just buy a decent set of jeweler's screwdrivers; you'll need most of them eventually.

Hi 632bbc,

Use a 4 OTT Phillips with a good point.

0000 +.

Good Luck

Hmm, well, ah, 

I don't usually comment on spelling, as mine isn't always the greatest.  (Firefox "spell-check on the fly" helps.  See you later IE.)

"Ott" is a good pronunciation of the word,

but I think that "aught" (meaning "zero" or "nothing") is the word you are really looking for, as in "30-06 (thirty-aught-six) rifle".

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Joe Satnik

If your loco is too heavy to lift, you'd better be able to ride in, on or behind it.
