Hi,
Absolute rookie.  How to change body shell on EMD GP40?

Gently spread apart the sides of the shell. Sometimes toothpicks work best for this.

Regards,

Got it, thanks for the hints.  New EMD GP40 with sound.  Remove 2 screws that hold the black plastic cover on the speaker and gently pry the cover off.  There are 2 screws in the metal speaker housing that hold the body on the chassis.  Took me a few days to muster the courage, but was easier than I thought.
