I am a newbie to model railroading ~ have a new Bauchmann 3 Truck Shay ~ would like to install a decoder in it ~ have removed every screw I can find and still can't separate the frame/engine from the shell ~ help!
Dear Rev,
If you have the HO Shay, the decoder goes in the water tank, which is released by single screw toward the front of the underframe.
The Large Scale diagram is here:

Have fun!

Bach-man,
Many thanks for your reply! The exploded diagrams should tell me all I need to know to reassemble the shay. With support like that, I will buy Bachmann again.
