Talltim Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I've not taken apart an Atlas loco before, how do you get the body off? The parts guide shows some screws above the trucks which hold the weights at each end on and they are just about accessible, but will undoing these just allow the weights to float around inside the still attached body?

tornado64 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 depends there are atlas locos and there are atlas locos , so depends what age !! older ones just have locating clips on the bodys footplating area so you can just pull a little to release clips , although newer stuff may well be screwed together but i can't comment as i have not stripped one yet !!

Glorious NSE Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Take the coupler pockets out first, then once that's done you need to work loose the 6 clips that hold the body to the chassis. If you turn it over you'll see the outer clips above the trucks, there may also be a pair in the middle... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
