Title: Body shell swap for GP-40s
Post by: Barry Karlberg on September 24, 2020, 01:48:09 PM
I have some extra road name boy shells I would like to swap out for my existing ones on my Bachmann GP-40s.

Anyone have experience doing this? Loosen screws on bottom of fuel tank or slip on off?

Thanks,

Barry

The challenge of removing/replacing a body shell has simply been resolved.

1. Remove the tiny screws from the fuel tank which covers the speaker.
2. Gently, pry the fuel tank cover off.
3. Remove the two diagonal screws from the locomotive frame which fastens the frame to the body
    shell.
4. Lift the frame from the body shell and replace.

Excellent troubleshooting. All part of model railroading.
