| You're welcome. When I finally figured out what the Bachmann tech was trying to tell me, I thought a pictorial for us lesser mortals was in order.[;)]

Hey SG:
There's a shorter version of the Walthers Gas Electric, does the shell remove the same way?

I have a Walther's Doodle Bug and Sperry Rail Car.
If and when separating the body from the frame, be weary and be aware that the windows are attached to the BODY. Taking the shells off require careful handling. the split window frames can break quite easily.
The main differences to these two models is, naturally, the rear trucks. Also are the window arrangements with even signs of "plated-over" windows on the Sperry car.

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.

Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?

| I'm at a loss there, Ken. I sold mine some time back so I don't even have that to look up for you.

Is something wrong with the truck, Ken? It looks like the universal shaft is just detached on the motor end, unless you did that yourself.

when loco arrived the bogies was not attched to frame other than the contact wires,the answer was starring me in the face,the circular part on top of truck has to be pinched and it slides into body as well as drive shaft into motor,done and dusted,runs sweet cheers guys ken

I bought it weathered, although I bet some of the weathering is due to it's age.
Oh, and while mine may have a radiator grille, yours has the much more prototypical yellow and red cab paint. I'm sure it runs better too!
