Title: Hey Bob
Post by: rowdymax on May 21, 2017, 06:12:42 PM
How do I remove the shell from my Bachmann GP40  BNSF.   I need to lube the gears
Is there an instruction sheet I can down load for it.

You probably just need to remove the couplers and boxes and then just lift the shell up, but it could be different depending on when your model is from exactly.

My couplers are attached to the shell.  I have tried prying the fuel tanks off in hopes there would be screws or something to allow me to remove the shell.  I am afraid to pry too hard as I don't want to damage anything.

The shell should just pry off from the fuel tank.
