A while ago I asked if anyone knew how to dismantle an Acela passenger car in order to repair the coupler. It is impossible to do without removing the trucks. There is a spring and a ball joint involved. Anyone!

Dear jonjdurkin,

Are you familiar with David Harrison's Acela website?

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Joe Satnik.
If your loco is too heavy to lift, you'd better be able to ride in, on or behind it.
