Hi, we just bought a Bachmann NY Central starter kit for our son's birthday. It's the Bachmann HO 01307 Spectrum Explorer set here: http://www.modeltrainstuff.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=BAC-01307&click=6206.
Although we are extremely impressed with the kit overall, it started squeaking almost immediately. We watched the video, I've done searches here, but I can't figure out how to get the body of the train off of the chassis. The video references a "tab" that I can't find, and there's this thread here: http://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/board/index.php/topic,9713.0.html that I thought would solve my problem, but not quite. I did find the bridge pins (and of course I'd unscrewed the drawbar screw), but the chassis still seems firmly fixed to the outer shell and I'm afraid that if I yank it the whole thing might break (a larger problem than a small squeek, to be sure
).
So, if anyone has this train (or the Santa Fe equivalent), could you break it down in small baby steps for a complete noob?
It's much appreciated.
Cheers,
Eric
