HO / Question about Bachmann China ND5 disassembly
February 14, 2014, 10:24:30 AM
Hello,

I'm new to this board and Bachmann trains in general, and I started this winter collecting Bachmann China trains.

I recently got the ND5 prototype model CD01007, which is causing some headache in the DCC installation, as I don't seem to find a way to disassemble it... I have got to the point that I have removed the couplers, detached the box at bottom of locomotive (including screws #10547, and 2x #10644), but cannot seem to figure out how to continue from that point. Seems like the base and shell of locomotive are still held together by something, and I don't want to force any part of it to not break it...

Do any of you guys know what's the proper way to disassemble this locomotive to get access to the DCC socket? I have already installed DCC on a few other Bachmann China locomotives but this one seems to be causing problems.
