Anyone done this? I removed the couplers and 1 screw beneath each truck...still the body seems firmly attached in the rear. Am I missing anything?

Thanks

Got-it

I did remove all the necessary screws...seems the problem was the body shell was be glued to the speaker mounting weight in the back. I pried on the shell it finally went pop and then came off. There was evidence of Blue paint (Conrail Blue) on the gloss black weight.

Sure makes me nervous having to pry on the body shell to get off (My favorite loco). Seems like another bad decoder.

Glad to hear

I search around on the net and found nothing that would help you. Also I do not own one so could not help.
