I am replacing the #1 connector on my spectrum 2-8-0 it has a light one one end and wires to the motor . Do Ihave to take the under frame a part or does the shell come a part Thanks Ken

Ken,

If I understand your question correctly, you don't have to disassemble the underframe to change out the wires.

There is a post I did a long time ago about disassembly and maintenance on the 2-8-0.  It explains how the shell comes off and the motor assembly is removed without messing with the wheel mechanism. Let me find it and I will put the link here.

Regards,

Jonathan

Addendum:  as promised...

I think Jonathans tutorial on disassembly@ maintenance of the Bachmann Connie really deserves to be made a sticky here on the H.O forum.....
